Confusion in Northeim: Toy weapon triggers police use!

A police operation in downtown Northeim caused excitement on Monday afternoon: a man who, according to witnesses, carried a weapon with him, was reported by a woman who observed how he left the City Center towards Mühlenstrasse with a black firearm. The police officers from Northeim and Einbeck immediately moved in, searched for the area and interviewed passers -by. Fortunately, there was no evidence of an actual threat.

Finally, it turned out that the 28-year-old man who was found near the City Center only carried a toy gun that he had previously bought. His careless handling led to the alarm of the police, which now determined because of the leadership of an apparent weapon, because dealing with such toys can also have legal consequences. The situation shows how quickly ambiguities can panic, which the police expressly illustrated. For more information, see the current reporting on northeim-jetz.de .
