Dangerous sabotage on the Solothurn bike route

Unknown persons have caused serious damage to the downhill course on the Weissenstein in Solothurn. Signposts were removed, the route rerouted and a barrier in front of a precipice removed. Barbed wire was even stretched behind a jump. The Solothurn cantonal police have now started an investigation, classify the case as urgent and are looking for witnesses.

The perpetrators appear to have consciously accepted that bikers were putting themselves in serious danger. By diverting onto a hiking trail, they also put hikers at risk. The highlight, however, is that barbed wire was strung behind a jump. The downhill route on Solothurn's local mountain was the subject of heated debate for a long time, but today the problems have been resolved and an agreement has been reached. This makes the act of sabotage that has now occurred all the more astonishing.

The Solothurn cantonal police are asking anyone who has made relevant observations or can provide information on the identity of the wanted persons to contact them: Phone 032 627 71 11, Mail: info.polizei@kapo.so.ch
