Dangerous garden find in Geretsried: Police sends specialists!

A garden find that caused a good excitement in Geretsried last Saturday seemed to be an explosive story. A man discovered a massive, rusty object about 70 centimeters underground while digging in his garden on Adalbert-Stifter-Straße. In the hope of finding an underground power cable, but suddenly he stood in front of the unknown and reported the discovery to the police as a precaution, since he classified the object as suspicious, such as the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.

The police were able to take sufficient time to investigate, but could not make an immediate identification of the object. It was assumed that it could possibly be a flying bomb or remnants. To be on the safe side, the officials informed a special company from Munich and transmitted pictures of the find. The first impression was not very promising, and an employee of the special company was sent to Geretsried for assessment.

The calming discovery

The expert from the special company arrived at the site after a short time and thoroughly examined the object. The excitement increasingly gave way to the astonishment: it was not a dangerous explosive ordnance, but only an old, concrete water tube. Fortunately, there was no danger from the object, so that an evacuation of the residents was not necessary. "This is a good business for the police," said an official who was relieved to clarify the situation without much alarm.

The incident once again shows how important it is to inform the responsible authorities immediately even with supposedly harmless finds. Explosive material from the First and Second World War can still be discovered on construction sites or in gardens. The ADAC came before and emphasized the need for a professional examination, especially if the suspicion of ordnance is confirmed, as can be seen under adac.de is.

The Geretsried police could not only calm down their residents due to the rapid approach, but also avert a long service. An all -clear at a time when such old holders can always cause unrest from war. The positive end of this incident reminds us that healthy distrust and quick action are often the key in such situations.
