An employee of a hospital in the Landshut district is said to have swapped medication and stolen drugs. According to investigators, the 41-year-old is suspected of swapping the drugs in the hospital for other ampoules in order to cover up the theft. Whether patients were harmed as a result of the crime is currently the subject of investigations, said a police spokeswoman.
According to police and prosecutors, an arrest warrant was issued against the man for theft of narcotics, grievous bodily harm and attempted manslaughter. He is now in custody, they said. According to the information, a hospital employee reported to the police last Thursday that drugs had apparently been stolen. After initial investigations, suspicions against the 41-year-old hospital employee were confirmed.
