A little girl called the emergency service and said she hears strange sounds from under her bed.
Then… again. A faint whisper, barely perceptible. But it wasn’t a voice. It was a sound… like a muffled metallic scratching, as if it came from the ground.
As if someone… was digging.
One of the officers lay down on the floor and started gently knocking on the boards. In one corner, the sound was dull. The police quickly removed that section of flooring — and underneath, they discovered a thin layer of soil.
They took a shovel from the garage and began to dig… a few centimeters deep, they hit a metal cover. Under it — a tunnel.

A Romanian woman shared on TikTok what it’s like to be married to a Muslim. “Besides the first wife, he also has a mistress. But Sąú…”
Reinforcements were called. After two hours, the truth was revealed: beneath the house and the neighboring properties stretched an entire network of tunnels.
Inside were hiding three fugitives — former prisoners who had been evading the authorities for several months and were preparing an escape across the border, digging right under the city.
Using special devices, they worked only at night, trying not to make a sound — but little Maria heard them anyway.
Thanks to the girl’s call, they were caught. Since then, Maria sleeps peacefully.
