Police in the eastern German city of Dresden
announced Tuesday that they had arrested two men the previous evening after
finding 17 smuggled hand grenades in their car.
The vehicle had been parked in the parking lot of
the city's main train station, raising the officers' suspicion, a police
spokesperson said.
The officers gave the car an initial search and then
used a sniffer dog, which alerted the officers to the live ammunition that had
been hidden in the paneling.
The two men of Bosnian nationality were suspected of
having entered the country illegally.
The reason for their possession of the hand grenades
remains unclear. The spokesperson said that an investigation was ongoing.
