Strange object at Lindau train station – police cordon off the area
The police were initially unable to identify the object.
Based on information about the vehicle owner, who does not live in Bavaria and had already come to the attention of the police for a similar incident in North Rhine-Westphalia, an increased risk situation was assumed.
The area around the Lindau island train station was then cordoned off extensively by several police patrols, the Lindau border police and the federal police.
Bomb squad from Munich arrives – and gives the all-clear
Specialists from the State Criminal Police Office in Munich used a robot to examine the container for possible explosive substances.
The all-clear was given after about an hour.
It turned out that the box was probably an electronic recording device for working time.
Why the device was attached in such a conspicuous place is still unclear and is the subject of police investigations.
The closure in the Lindau train station area was lifted again at 7:45 p.m.
