Border controls: Federal Police move in unauthorized fireworks over a kilo!

Klingenthal/Johanngeorgenstadt (ots)

alarming scenes on the border! In the case of acoustic keywords such as "fireworks" and "border controls", federal police officers decidedly intervened last weekend. Four men, including a 14 and an 18-year-old, were caught at a fresh act during the controls in the Region when they had unauthorized fireworks in tow. The police sent clear signals and filed advertisements for violations of the Sprensing Act. That lets you list!

The arrests

The arrests took place in the picturesque city of Johanngeorgenstadt and in the neighboring Klingenthal. Here the two younger ones were caught from the Erzgebirge district and Baden-Württemberg, while their older accomplices, 30 and 32 years old, came from the Ore Mountains. Shocking is the reason for the searches: the pyrotechnics that you have with it belongs to a category that is strictly prohibited in Germany without official approval. Is that really a violation, or just ignorance?

the amount of danger

for all onlookers: a total of over a kilogram of fireworks were confiscated! The big part of it, with almost one kilogram, belongs to the 32-year-old. And the knockout strike? The two younger ones weren't even old enough to deal with the explosive devices! A clear message from the police: There are no compromises in Germany when it comes to security!
