Fake bomb threat: Oldenburg's Kramermarkt excited!

On Wednesday afternoon, the police in Oldenburg received a hint of the threat of a bomb explosion that was spread through social media. This alarm, which caused excitement in the city, led the police to initiate investigations immediately and identified a 61-year-old woman as a possible source of the threat. After the search of her apartment, however, it turned out that the information came from a fake account, which the police classified as a waste of time.

During the investigation it became clear that there was no concrete danger to visitors to the Kramermarkt. This calmed down the population, but the police remained vigilant and continued their research to ensure that there was no threat in the room. On Thursday afternoon there was another emergency call that threatened a bomb explosion at the Kramermarkt, although the market was still closed at this time.

Investigations and security measures

Due to this renewed threat, police forces erected a barrier in a area of the Kramermarkt, where they suspected a possible explosive device. A specially trained explosive dog was used for checking. Fortunately, the searches did not lead to the finding of explosives or dangerous objects, which quickly relaxed the situation and made it possible for the police to remove the block again shortly after the opening of the market.

The city of Oldenburg confirmed that there was never a real danger at any time, and the police asked the population to vigilance. As part of the law enforcement, the people involved must expect serious consequences. The police opened criminal proceedings for disturbing public peace by threatening a crime. It is still unclear whether the two incidents are linked in any way. The search for further information and the person responsible continues.

The police emphasize that it takes threats of this kind seriously. Even if no actual explosives have been found, such reports generate unsettling emotions in public. If a responsible person is determined, they could be confronted with high claims for damages. It is important that the community remains informed in such situations to ensure the security of everyone. For additional information and details about this incident, see also nordnews.de .
