A leaderless suitcase in a parking garage led to a police operation in Braunschweig. The response team cordoned off several city blocks around the parking garage in the evening. Regarding the operation on Steinstraße, the police wrote on platform X: "A leaderless suitcase was discovered by police officers in a parking garage. The immediate vicinity was evacuated and cordoned off for precautions. Please stay away from the scene of the incident and follow instructions from the response team."
