Federal Police Waidhaus: 26 kg of pyrotechnics and 17 weapons confiscated!

The officials confiscated a total of 26 kilograms forbidden pyrotechnics and 17 illegal weapons. These measures took place in a period from October 18 to 20. The police initiated investigations in all cases to clarify the background of the illegal activities.

arrest in border controls

A incident on Sunday was particularly revealing when the federal police noticed a car that transported three German men. When checking the vehicle, the officers found 18 kilograms of illegal pyrotechnics in the trunk. This dangerous freight is now kept in the evidence chamber, while legal steps have been initiated against an 18-year-old and two 17-year. In this case, the Sprengmoden Act was clearly violated what will lead to the criminal consequences.

In addition, another incident caused a sensation over the weekend. A 17-year-old Croatian and an 18-year-old German tried to avoid the control point on the A6 motorway. They got out of their vehicle shortly before checking and wanted to leave the border controls behind on foot. Thanks to an attentive truck driver who informed the federal police, the two smugglers could be arrested quickly. When they are arrested, five kilograms of pyrotechnics and several forbidden weapons, including whipped rings, electric shockers and jumpers, were ensured.

further checks and confiscations

The first day of controls, a Friday, brought another remarkable incident. A 43-year-old man who apparently was traveling in the Czech Republic was checked by federal police officers on Bärnau. In the man's vehicle there were not only pyrotechnics, but also a telescopic stroke and two throwing stars. Here, too, the illegal objects had to be handed over to the officials, and the man now also faces an investigation.

The determined measures of the federal police underline the importance of border controls in the fight against illegal weapons and explosive trade. The current arrests and confiscations show that the authorities remain vigilant and actively combat potential sources of danger at the border. It remains to be hoped that such rigorous controls will be able to prevent further illegal operations in the future.
