Munich Police Confirm Two Weekend Apartment-Door Threats Involving Weapon-Like Devices

Seized items include a Softair pistol and a double-barrel air/blank gun under Kommissariat 26 oversight.

Overview

  • Police reported two separate deployments over the weekend after men in Munich said they were threatened at their apartment doors with a firearm-like object.
  • On Friday, January 9, a 27-year-old called 911 after a dispute; officers detained a 58-year-old nearby and seized a Softair pistol linked to him.
  • The 58-year-old was reported for threat and potential Weapons Act violations and was released after initial police measures as further inquiries proceed.
  • On Saturday, a 25-year-old told police his 42-year-old neighbor in Bogenhausen threatened him; the suspect later exited unarmed, and a search found multiple weapon-related items.
  • The device identified in the second case was a double-barrel air/blank gun, and the 42-year-old was transferred for psychiatric care while investigations into threats and weapons-law violations continue.
