Bundespolizei Seizes 500 Kg of Fireworks on A12 Near Frankfurt (Oder)

The stop underscores stepped-up enforcement against unauthorized F3/F4 pyrotechnics following a 1.3 tonnes seizure on the A111 last week.

Mit mehr als einer halben Tonne illegaler Pyrotechnik im Fahrzeug sind zwei auf einer Brandenburger Autobahn erwischt worden. Der 24-jährige Franzose und sein Beifahrer kauften zuvor im polnischen Gorzow rund 1500 Silvesterböller.

Overview

  • The van carried roughly 1,500 F2 and F3 fireworks weighing about 500 kilograms, with purchase receipts from Poland found onboard.
  • Bundespolizei initiated an investigation into a 24-year-old passenger for a suspected violation of the Explosives Act.
  • Officers unloaded the transporter, scheduled the seized pyrotechnics for destruction, and allowed the driver to continue his journey.
  • German law allows retail sales of F1 and F2 items, while F3 and F4 require special authorization to buy and use.
  • In a separate case last week, police stopped a transporter on the A111 and seized about 1.3 tonnes of suspected F4 fireworks in 70 boxes, temporarily detaining the 27-year-old driver who had no permit.
