Customs officers caught a woman bringing a walking stick with an integrated blade to Germany.

Criminal proceedings are now pending against them.

Nuremberg - It looks harmless, but if you unscrew its head, you hold a 30 centimeter long blade in your hand.

At the end of August, the customs officers at Nuremberg Airport * seized a walking stick with an integrated knife.

It was brought by a family who had entered from Nigeria via Turkey * and had not registered their luggage, as the main customs office in Nuremberg writes. 

Nuremberg: Customs officers checked the family  

Nevertheless, the customs officers checked the family and found the “special” walking stick in their hand luggage.

Since the so-called stick swords are hidden and camouflaged as harmless everyday objects, according to the customs office they fall under the weapons law and are forbidden in Germany. 

Nuremberg: Criminal proceedings initiated against the carrier 

The 34-year-old woman who traveled with it said she was given the stick in Nigeria.

He was secured.

Criminal proceedings are now being initiated against the woman because she violated the gun law and brought a prohibited item with her. 

The facts were handed over by the main customs office in Nuremberg to the customs investigation office, which will continue to process the case.
