Bomb discovery in Neuruppin: Supermarket evacuation causes excitement!
Surprise in quiet Neuruppin: On June 28, 2025, a 40-year-old man reported an unusual discovery - a supposed bazooka in the forest. What initially seemed like a harmless discovery quickly led to an unusual large-scale police operation. The man was asked to hand over the item in a supermarket parking lot to bring the situation under control. But when he brought the alleged weapon part with him, it quickly became clear that it was not just the lack of knowledge, but also the possible danger of the situation. The supermarket was immediately evacuated by police and a perimeter was set up, bringing 142 people, including staff, customers and residents, to safety.
The police investigation quickly showed that the discovery was not a real weapon. The item was identified as a Soviet training bazooka warhead. However, the situation remains precarious because the 40-year-old could be in danger of violating the War Weapons Control Act (KrWaffKontrG), which came into force on November 22, 1990. It is intended to ensure that such potential dangers in the handling and discovery of war munitions are taken seriously.
Dangers of World War II ammunition
The police not only responded in this case, but also issued an important message: “World War II ammunition can be extremely dangerous and should under no circumstances be touched.” Given this warning, it is necessary to raise awareness of the dangers posed by the discovery of such items. Especially in regions with a strong military history such as Brandenburg, this can often lead to unpleasant surprises.
After the suspect and the suspected dangerous object were processed in the police shop, the restricted area was lifted again at 12 p.m. The operation in Neuruppin may seem bizarre at first glance, but it once again illustrates how important caution and correct action are in such situations. Although many residents were probably happy that there was no real cause for panic, the memory of the incident remains in the city's memory.
In a country where such incidents can impact both the headlines and everyday life, it is even more important to be vigilant and respect the rules. As the case shows, anyone who finds a suspicious item must contact the police and trust their expertise.
