After a possible discovery of explosives in Magdeburg, the police have given the all-clear. As the local police informed MDR, the alleged explosive device poses no danger. According to the police, there will be no further investigations or criminal charges. According to MDR information, the dummy explosive was a geocache.
According to police information, tradespeople discovered a suspicious object in the empty prefabricated building of the former SED party school. It was a type of ammunition box that apparently contained two gas containers and various wires. The geocache must have been lying dormant in the underworld for many years. The last entry is from 2013.
After the discovery, the area around the former SED party school was closed for several hours. The blocking radius was around 200 meters.
But did they put the cache back for the next person to find?
And did they log the find? Just publishing it in the media doesn't count.
