The Polish Border Guard has asked German police to immediately explain an incident in which a German police vehicle allegedly crossed the Polish border in the north-western part of the country and left behind a family of migrants.
According to the chojna24.pl local website, a German police car appeared in the border town of Osinow Dolny on Friday, leaving a family of migrants (including two adults and three children) on the Polish side of the frontier.
“The Border Guard has asked German police to immediately explain the incident. We are waiting for a response from the German police,” Tomasz Gruchalla-Wensierski of the Polish Maritime Border Guard Division told the Polish Press Agency (PAP).
He added that both Polish policemen and border guards, who had immediately arrived at the site of the incident, had found no migrants.
Deputy Minister of the Interior and Administration Czeslaw Mroczek told Polsat News commercial broadcaster on Sunday that “we are waiting for an explanation from the German side as this has not been done in accordance with the binding procedure.”
In the first five months of the year, Germany detained 7,371 foreigners trying to illegally cross the border to Germany from Poland and returned 3,578 of them, according to a Polish local authority.
Of those returned, 2,238 were Ukrainian nationals, the Office of the Lubuskie Province, which borders Germany, reported, quoting data from the Polish-German Centre for Cooperation of Police, Border and Customs services.
