Handgrenade in toy store

[chattius 2,531]

 

My parents phoned me yesterday that when they wanted to visit a friend who is at hospital, there was a lot of police at the nearby supermarket, where they wanted to buy a small gift. Seems personal from the market found a working M75 handgrenade in the toy part of the market.

 

My brother lives just 300 metres from the market and he has 3 kids below 5 years.

 

At a resting place at the autobahn where I live, several ammunition for a tank gun was found 2 days ago.

 

Luckily the handgrenade and the tank bullets weren't wire trapped. But police in schools did savety rules if finding military stuff this morning. They fear that the grenade was aimed at kids who may have played with it.

That's not good at all. I hope they get the nutter who did that.

This is terrifying news Chattius, especially with children as targets involved. I'm just relieved that noone has gotten hurt, do they have any suspects? How about video cameras, is there a chance that some kind of action or people could have been recorded?

Although horrific, it does sound small scale. Thus, I would have thought that this is the work one a lone idiot, rather than organised terrorists.

Gogo: If I remember the market correct, then it has fixed tv cameras

 

Cider: it could be one lonely fool, or it could be a person of a network, not known yet

Hopefully just the one and they get caught very soon.

 

Parents must be terrified in that area ?

Thats terrible! Hopefully they determine who is responsible quickly and can apprehend them.

Turned out that it was the store security, store detective who wanted to have his 15 minutes of fame. He put the grenade there and later 'found' it.

Are you kidding me?!

 

Did they arrest the guy?

 

That's criminal!
