Originally in search of the cause of a strikingly strong, biting odor in Josefstrasse, the police officers came across an unclear liquid on site. Due to the potential danger of the situation, not only the local fire brigade, but also the ABC train Bigge of the Olpe district was consulted. This reports among other things the Bild-Zeitung .

A fire brigade team, equipped with breathing protection and special protective suits, was able to discover several containers with a previously unknown substance in a residential building.
