A 53-year-old man was provisionally detained in Fürth after police received a call about a possibly armed person. On Thursday, 12 November 2026, around 17:00, a caller reported a man who may have been carrying a weapon at a property in the street Am Historischen Lokschuppen in the city’s Oststadt. Police from the Fürth police station, supported by units including Mittelfranken support command and the Bavarian riot police support units, moved in and surrounded the building. When the man left the apartment, he was detained without resistance and handcuffed. Outside the apartment, officers found and secured a softair pistol and a telescopic baton. Because of the larger police presence, traffic police briefly diverted traffic near the U-Bahn station Jakobinenstraße, and bus services were also affected. Police said there was no danger to the public at any time. An alcohol breath test showed the man had about two per mille. He was taken into custody to prevent further offences. The Fürth police station opened an investigation, including for suspected threats. The investigation is ongoing, with the man held in custody following the provisional arrest.
