Man crawled onto military grounds at night – military police encountered a strange sight in the morning

A 33-year-old man attempted to illegally access a military base in Turku, Finland, and was found trapped under a gate by military police.

On the morning of October 28, 2025, military police from the Coastal Fleet had an unusual assignment in Turku, Finland, when they encountered a 33-year-old man who had tried to illegally access the Panzi Base. The intruder was discovered lying under the service gate of the military base, having attempted to crawl under an access point but getting stuck in the process. Fortunately, there was no pursuit or dangerous situation involved in this incident.

The man had nearly managed to enter the base but was found trapped before he could fully gain access. He was extricated from his predicament by the local rescue service, as temperatures were quite low, hovering between three to four degrees Celsius. He was then taken for medical treatment due to the cold. The incident underscores the risks involved when individuals ignore prohibitions against unauthorized access to military areas.

Unauthorized entry into defense forces' territories is strictly prohibited, and there are visible signs alerting individuals to this fact. The man faced legal consequences for his actions and received a fine represented by 14 daily penalties, reflecting the serious nature of breaching such security measures. This incident raises questions about the reasons behind such actions and the necessary measures to prevent unauthorized access in the future.
