With a gun and what appeared to be grenades in her trunk, a woman ensured that the police station in Taunusstein (Rheingau-Taunus district) was evacuated. Officials said she took her late husband’s belongings to the police station in the afternoon. A gun and a grenade-like object were found in his pocket.
The office was then evacuated as a precaution and the access area was closed. Specialists from the Hessian State Criminal Police Office were called in for further clarification. They check the item and give approval after an initial assessment. According to a police spokesperson, it was a real grenade shell – apparently, without any contents. The items he was carrying were confiscated. The gun is an airsoft gun.
That POLICE emphasizes that if weapons, ammunition or items similar to explosives are found, the police should generally be notified and such items should not be transported carelessly.
