The 47-year-old woman and the 37-year-old friend had searched the internet for an emergency sanitary service on Saturday afternoon because the toilet was clogged. In the afternoon, a technician appeared who only had a plunger (suction bell) with him and got the toilet free again after about 15 minutes.
For this, the man charged a four-digit euro amount, which was paid by the surprised residents. Later, when concerns arose about the amount of the bill, they called the police. A sanitary emergency service had already repaired the clogged toilet in July 2022. At that time, a high three-digit euro amount was billed, the police said in a broadcast.
