Law Enforcement Actions Triggered by Tips Regarding Armed Individuals
In Hanau on Tuesday afternoon, a police operation was conducted at the Municipal Employment Center in Eugen-Kaiser-Straße, following reports of a man carrying an apparent firearm-like object and a replica of a ballistic vest.
According to initial findings, the man, aged 33, was temporarily detained and the items were secured. The weapon found on the man was a "softair" gun, not a real firearm. The man is currently under investigation for suspected disturbance of public peace by threat of criminal acts and a violation of the Weapons Act.
The incident appears to be related to an emotional overload, for which the man is now receiving psychiatric care. It is important to note that no one was threatened or injured in the incident.
A witness reported seeing the man showing a firearm-like object to a group of young men at the sports facility. A second police operation was conducted at a sports facility "In den Heimerswiesen" around 5 PM.
Meanwhile, at Police Headquarters Southeast Hesse, a 22-year-old was found to be in possession of a blank-firing pistol for which he could not produce a weapons permit. The 22-year-old also had an outstanding arrest warrant in connection with a hit-and-run accident, resulting in his driver's license being revoked.
