But this incident was not the only one who causes concern in the Coburg area. Only recently, on Monday, June 9, 2025, there was another incident in a forest on the Coburger Kürengrund. Two girls came across a man who apparently satisfied himself. The girls noticed the encounter on a bench on a footpath that leads along Lauterbach through the forest. Shocked, they ran home quickly and informed their mothers and the police. The unknown man is said to be about 18 to 20 years old, slim and with black or dark brown hair. He was clad with a black top and wore a backpack and a bike. Here, too, the Coburg criminal police are looking for witnesses, especially a walker and a cyclist who met the girls on the way home. Callers can also report to the police on 09561/645-0. This can be seen from a press release from Police Bavaria
