“The soldiers found it near the flood embankment, on the road between Stronie Śląskie and Lądek-Zdrój. They opened the bag on commission, and the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Marcin Łyskanowski, was informed. The police were called, who secured the find, a report was written and the find was handed over to the Lower Silesian police,” said Piotr Langenfeld.
Soldiers of the Territorial Defense Forces have been present in the areas affected by the flood for a month now. Units from all over the country come there. “Our soldiers are very well received, there is a lot of positive feedback. Real emotional bonds are created between the residents and the soldiers and that is the most important thing,” said Piotr Langenfeld.
By the decision of Lt. Col. Marcin Łyskanowski, the finders of the money will be rewarded for their attitude.
