Dortmund in turmoil: Man with toy weapon triggers police operation!

Dortmund, Deutschland - A 52-year-old Dortmunder triggered a major alarm with the police today on April 23, with a deceptively real-looking toy weapon. At 4:35 p.m., an attentive neighbor reported the incident about the emergency call 110. Thanks to her hint, the emergency services were able to quickly find the apartment in question and arrest the man without resistance.

In the apartment, three Softair long weapons, which apparently belonged to his 14-year-old son, were secured. Now the man faces a criminal complaint about violating the weapons law and disruption of public peace. This incident has impressively showed how serious the authorities deal with such threats - even if it is just toys!
