Federal Police confiscated 36 kg of pyrotechnics at Hohenwutzen
drama on the border! On Monday morning at 10:30 a.m., the federal police officers were wide awake at the former border crossing in Hohenwutzen - and for good reason!
A car with Dutch license plates was targeted by the inspectors. What they discovered lets the alarm bells ring: over 20,000 fireworks and over 36 kg of explosive mass! In a truly explosive find that puts every New Year's Eve in the shade, pyrotechnics were ensured.

The three young men, between 18 and 24 years old, could not show any valid permits for the import of dangerous goods. Where did you get all the pyrotechnics from? Why did you travel without appropriate papers? Questions about questions that must now be answered in the investigation.
The federal police immediately stepped in and confiscated the entire dangerous freight. Now an investigation is underway on suspicion of violations of the explosive law. A serious accusation that should be on the back of these men for the next few weeks.
The exciting control did not end with a festive bang, but quickly for the three Dutch: after the police measures, they were able to continue their journey - but without their illegal load.
An incident that shows: Not everything that shines and not every trip runs without incident. The federal police show that they are vigilant when it comes to the security of the citizens. Hohenwutzen will probably remain in the inspector for a long time!
