There was actually a pistol in the bag! And not only that: the accompanying magazine was also included. "The magazine was empty," spokeswoman Julia Neumann explains when asked. But: It is conceivable that there was still ammunition in the barrel. “The colleagues could not see whether there was ammunition in the barrel or not because it was so badly weathered. It may well be that there was no danger, but it is not certain whether there was ammunition in the weapon , ”Neumann continues.
Erfurt: Police move in and secure gun
According to the police, it could be a Beretta 92 . A published photo (see above) shows the poor condition of the weapon. Nevertheless: The thought that such a weapon gets into the hands of children makes every reasonable person nervous.
The police immediately moved in and seized the gun. "There is suspicion that someone has disposed of the gun there," said police spokeswoman Julia Neumann. "There is initial suspicion of a violation of the weapons law."
There are always drastic finds in the forest. Authorities raised the alarm about this.
