The police are drawing attention because of the way they acted in the case of a kidnapper who called 112 and complained that he found a suspicious device under a car.

Libertatea writes, citing police sources, that on Thursday, April 6, a car dealer from Bucharest called 112 and complained that he had gone to a service in Ilfov, and after checking his car, the staff told him that they found “something suspiciously stuck there ” on the exhaust pipe.

Then the man drove to Bucharest, and on the way he called 112 and said that something suspicious was taped under his car. “He did not call in an alarming tone, calmly said that it “looks like a New Year’s firecracker.” And no matter how many fake calls there were, the dispatcher did not notice the danger, from the tone of the man’s voice,” police sources told Svoboda.

During the phone conversation, the man told the 112 operator that he was getting under the car and removing the tape. Pulling it out, he said it “looked like firecrackers.” The operator reportedly told the man to stay there as a crew arrived to investigate. Libertatea sources also claim that the crew arrived, took the device and asked it to come by car to Section 23 to continue the inspection.
