Curious police operation: Witnesses watch four people throw objects from a parking garage at a Deutsche Bahn train - but there is no damage. 

Kaiserslautern - Four young people between the ages of 13 and 14 triggered a police operation at Kaiserslautern Central Station on Wednesday (January 12th, 2022).

For this, their parents now have to dig deep into their pockets.

Witnesses reported to the police around 5 p.m. that unknown objects were thrown at an outbound train of the Deutsche Bahn (DB) *.

The witnesses observed a total of four people in an adjacent parking garage, from where the objects apparently came in flight.

When the police examined the train, however, they found no damage.

Instead, the investigators discovered many gummy bears that were lying around the train in the DB track system.

They finally picked up four teenagers, two girls and two boys, in the parking garage.

Next to them is the piece of evidence: There were several empty gummy bear bags on the parking deck. The officers explained the scope of the dangerous action to the teenagers and informed their parents. They will now probably have to bear the costs for the strange police operation at Deutsche Bahn. It is not yet clear how high this bill will actually be. The payment due is determined according to the "fee schedule of the federal police", said a spokesman when asked. This takes the necessary measures and personnel expenses into account. Experience has shown that such stakes amounted to several hundred euros.

It happens every now and then that Deutsche Bahn trains are pelted with objects.

As a rule, however, with significantly less harmless "bullets".
