Get out of jail free: Prisoner escapes custody after bars removed for renovation

A suspect has escaped from a police station detention room. It did not take much effort, as the bars in the window were missing. They had been removed for renovation. Sebastian S., a 22- year-old car thief, held in custody on the decision of the court in Zgierz was suspected of a mugging. That day he had been transported to the police station for interrogation. Pretending he had to use the toilet he entered the room next to it, broke the window and ran away. The police officers claim they had no idea the bars had been taken off as the construction foreman had not informed the station authorities. The fugitive is still at large.
