Munich Police Seize Blank-Firing Gun at Schwabing Gym, 21-Year-Old Charged Under Weapons Law

Kommissariat 24 is investigating after officers recovered a PTB-designated pistol from a treadmill bottle holder.

Overview

  • A witness called police around 22:15 to report a man with a weapon at a fitness studio in Munich-Schwabing, prompting a multi-unit response.
  • Officers found a blank-firing Schreckschuss pistol with ammunition in a treadmill’s bottle holder and secured the items.
  • The treadmill user, a 21-year-old Munich resident, returned during the operation and showed indications of alcohol intoxication.
  • Because he had no identification on him, police accompanied him to his apartment, seized additional ammunition, and took his small weapons permit.
  • He was processed and reported for multiple suspected violations of weapons law, and the case has been handed to Kommissariat 24 for further inquiries.
