After capturing the culprit, Leonard and his team decided to call the police right away. After all, people in the campsite had become curious and looked in their direction and had also heard the gunshots.
Therefore, in such a situation where it could not be concealed, choosing to report to the police was the most correct approach. This might not be the best plan, but it could prevent the worst outcome.
The police arrived quickly. Even though this place was considered remote in Germany, it was an important travel destination, so only about ten minutes later, two police officers in an off-road vehicle reached the scene.
After that, things became simple. Leonard and his team went to the police station with the officers and made a brief written statement as required. Then, they were driven by the police to the mountain at the target location.
