A suspicious object at the train station in Marl-Sinsen was a dummy. The police had secured the train station on Friday evening because of the object and an abandoned suitcase, as a police spokeswoman said. The blockage was lifted early on Saturday morning and road and rail traffic was released again. In the meantime, some residents had to leave their homes.
Emergency services first secured the danger area around the waiting area of the station after a police witness reported the two objects on the platform. The police did not say what the item was next to the suitcase. The defusers secured the suitcase and took it away. Now, among other things, the disturbance of the public peace is being investigated. At first, several newspapers reported on the operation.
