A mail package with silencers caught the attention of the security authorities.
Then a whole arsenal of war weapons will be dug up in Aldenhoven west of Cologne.
Aldenhoven - During a raid in Aldenhoven in the Düren district, investigators discovered an arsenal with war weapons.
The investigations were directed against a 32-year-old - initially only for violating the Foreign Trade Act, said a spokeswoman for the Frankfurt public prosecutor's office on Wednesday.
In a newly built district, however, the investigators came across firearms, grenades, hand grenades and mines.
That is why the accusation of violating the War Weapons Control Act was added.
The man should be brought before a judge in Düren on Wednesday.
According to the "Spiegel", the suspect is a captain and explosives expert in the Bundeswehr.
The public prosecutor did not want to confirm or deny this.
Because unknown chemicals were discovered in the house, the emergency services consulted an expert from the Federal Office for Radiation Protection to evaluate the findings.
The mission, which began on Tuesday, continued through the night into Wednesday and was not yet over in the early afternoon either.
Customs intercepted a package with silencers that the 32-year-old is said to have given up.
The authorities therefore initiated proceedings and obtained a search warrant.
A political background is currently not discernible, according to the public prosecutor's office.
