Pepper spray in hand luggage: Criminal proceedings at Hanover Airport!

In an exciting incident at Hanover Airport, a 20-year-old German became the goal of security forces on Tuesday morning after having found a forbidden pepper spray in her hand luggage during security control. The inspectors discovered the dangerous object at 1:00 a.m. and promptly called the federal police.

The pepper spray, which had no necessary test mark and no labeling for animal defense, falls under the weapons law and was secured by the officials. The young woman, who did not want to comment on the allegations, received a criminal complaint, but was then able to continue her trip to Istanbul.
