The police in Munich are investigating a mysterious case.
Now the officers have called for witnesses.
Munich - On a recent Saturday (February 24th), an 18-year-old reported to the police in Munich and, among other things, filed a complaint about deprivation of liberty.
Three weeks later, the officials are now turning to the public with a call for witnesses and describing in their press report what apparently happened to the teenager.
On Friday evening (February 23rd), shortly before midnight, the 18-year-old was walking to the Moosach subway station.
At the corner of Allacher Strasse and Baubergerstrasse he met an unknown man who was masked with a cloth.
“At the same time, a BMW stopped at the same height on the side of the road.
When the driver got out, he and the masked person grabbed the 18-year-old, forcibly pulled him into the back seat and then drove away with him," the police describe the following, cinematic scenes.

According to the teenager, what followed was an approximately 20-minute drive across the north-west of Munich and the municipality of Karlsfeld (Dachau district).
While driving, one of the unknown perpetrators took the 18-year-old's cell phone and threw it out of the moving car.
After another 20 minutes, the BMW stopped at an unknown location, where the passenger pulled the 18-year-old out of the car again.
The two unknown men then drove away.
Quite puzzling for the police: “During the entire journey there were no demands from the two perpetrators.”

After his release, the 18-year-old first stopped a security company's car.
“He was then taken by another vehicle to the Olympia shopping center.
There he finally got into a taxi and had himself driven home,” reports the police.
Back in his own four walls, the young Munich resident was able to locate his cell phone not far from Karlsfeld S-Bahn station and pick it up from a finder a short time later.
“As part of the investigation, intensive research was carried out into possible crime scenes and backgrounds.
“So far it has not been possible to precisely narrow down the route or obtain details about the 18-year-old’s rides,” the police wrote in their press report.
She is now asking the public for support with the following details.
