Suspicious Bag Under Police Van Causes Oberhausen Station Evacuation

The Oberhausen main station forecourt was cleared after a bag under a parked police vehicle prompted a bomb scare.

The incident began on Monday morning when a suspicious bag was discovered under a police van at Oberhausen's main station.
Authorities cordoned off the station's forecourt as a precautionary measure, starting around 9:15 AM.
Bomb disposal experts, including a robot, were dispatched to examine the bag's contents.
The station's evacuation caused temporary disruption, but train services continued to operate.
By 1:00 PM, the area was declared safe, and the forecourt reopened after the bag was found to be harmless.
