Police: No evidence of injuries at the Lehrte job center
The Hanover police have no evidence of injuries in the threat situation at a job center in Lehrte. This was announced by a spokesperson on Thursday. The arrested suspect threatened employees and frightened customers, as a police spokesperson confirmed on site. He is said to have been carrying a weapon. He would not say anything about the man's identity. It is still unclear whether there were other people involved or whether the man acted alone.
The police therefore called in additional heavily armed forces. The large contingent combed the entire building, which also houses a savings bank, in the morning. Officers took people out of the center, as a dpa reporter observed. The area around the job center on Burgdorfer Straße in Lehrte has been cordoned off over a wide area.
Despite the tense situation, no reports of physical injuries have been confirmed during the emergency at the Lehrte job center. The absence of injury evidence doesn't rule out potential charges related to the alleged crime of threatening behavior.
