The operation was planned and organized by the weapons authority of the city of Salzgitter. The checks were carried out in the districts of Salzgitter-Lichtenberg and Salzgitter-Bad. A total of 38 addresses of holders of weapons possession cards were visited.
The weapons storage check was positive in most cases.
The initiation of misdemeanor proceedings is currently being examined in one case and the initiation of criminal proceedings in another.
First City Councillor Eric Neiseke emphasizes: "Overall, the checks have shown that weapons are being stored properly in the vast majority of cases checked. We would like to thank the inspected gun owners for their understanding. My special thanks also go to the Salzgitter/Peine/Wolfenbüttel police department for their excellent cooperation."
