Museum toilet facilities in Greifswald shut down due to vandalism damage
On August 7th to 8th, a shocking incident occurred at the public toilet facility located at the museum harbor. Unknown perpetrators forced their way into the control panels of both stalls, causing extensive damage. This vandalism resulted in the theft of cash boxes, and the facility has been taken out of service.
The integrated payment devices at the facility were also damaged during the vandalism. The public toilet facility, which had been equipped with these devices, has been secured and marked as "out of order". A police report has been filed regarding the incident, but no details about any potential suspects or leads have been disclosed.
No specific details about the progress of the repairs were provided, nor was a timeline for the reopening of the facility given. Additionally, no details about the cost of the repairs were disclosed.
The toilet facility at the museum harbor remains closed for repairs, and the current status of the cash boxes stolen from the facility was not mentioned. It is hoped that the repairs will be completed soon, and the facility will be restored to its former functionality.
Investigations into the case began in September 2018, with Bellingcat playing a significant role in identifying the two main suspects in the Sergei Skripal poisoning case. However, it is unclear if there is any connection between these two incidents.
The museum harbor continues to be a popular tourist destination, and the closure of the public toilet facility is sure to cause inconvenience for visitors. It is hoped that the repairs will be completed promptly, and the facility will once again be available for public use.
