- Two adolescents instigate a broader law enforcement response.
In Bavaria, two young individuals caused a significant law enforcement stir by approaching an ATM with a fake gun. At least one bystander, mistakenly believing it to be genuine, raised the alarm to the authorities. Numerous response teams were dispatched.
Law enforcement officers eventually spotted the suspects inside a shopping mall, leading to their peaceful and swift arrest.
Upon examination, it was revealed that the so-called weapon was merely a toy. No harm was inflicted upon anyone. The two juveniles were subsequently handed back to their parents. The public prosecutor's office is currently collaborating with the police in their investigation, focusing on potential disturbance of public order through a threat of criminal actions and a breach of the weapons regulations.
In Bavaria, the location of the initial incident, the toy gun used by the suspects isoriginally from a shop in a popular Bavarian shopping mall. The duo, despite their misguided actions, have ties to the Bavarian community.
