Police discovered large camps with dangerous pyrotechnics in Pankow!

A sensational case currently employs the Berlin investigative authorities: In the Heilkrärweg in Pankow, they came across an illegal camp full of pyrotechnics. This reports the Zeit that a 25-year-old from Bernau near Berlin is suspected of dealing with dangerous fireworks. The police were used for several days with a large contingent to carry out the searches. Specific details on the seized objects are not known, but it was obviously a considerable Böller camp.

The public prosecutor is now examining how things will continue. The suspect was released after the investigation on the freely because he had a fixed residential address and was not submitted to a prison. A look at his previous criminal file shows that he has so far had no abnormalities. However, the investigation is still at an early stage and many questions remain open.

The illegal trade blooms

In the meantime there is another development in the field of illegal pyrotechnics in Berlin. According to a notification of the Berlin public prosecutor's office was charged with explosive fabrics in 53 cases. This illegal online trade extended over a period of several weeks at the end of 2023, in which the man and his two sons were able to build a network of sales. The orders were not only accepted locally, but nationwide- and without any age or authorization test, also to minors.

During a search in December 2023, the authorities found impressive 200 kilograms of illegal fireworks. The consolidations were dramatic and included several categories of pyrotechnics, including small fireworks (F2), middle fireworks (F3) and large fireworks (F4). The alleged trading proceeds of over 50,000 euros were also confiscated. It remains to be seen how the investigation against the sons will be.

The dangers of illegal pyrotechnics

The illegal business with fireworks not only have legal consequences, but also considerable security risks. The Federal Police warns that many of these non-approved fireworks and bangs come from abroad and are often produced with poor processing and industrial impregnation, which can lead to life-threatening injuries-even if-even if-even if you use them correctly. The purchase and trade with these products is strictly forbidden in Germany, and the consequences can lead from fines to prison terms of up to three years.

A note to everyone who wants to use fireworks in the coming season: It is urgently advised to only acquire approved quality products from authorized dealers and always observe the safety instructions. In the midst of all legal provisions and security guidelines, we all have to be aware that illegal fireworks are not only a legal, but in particular a health risk.
