Mysterious weapon finds in Ramersdorf and Perlach are puzzling the police: It all started around 8 a.m. on Sunday when a woman called the police emergency number and said she had found a gun case with a rifle on her doorstep. While a patrol was on its way to the woman, a man reported directly to the Perlach police station: He had found two handguns in front of his apartment door.
New reports of weapons being found were constantly being received. In the end there were – initially – ten weapons in seven locations. The weapons are airsoft or PTB weapons.
