Berlin police seized pyrotechnic items and so-called self-made devices, the department said. The police operation focused on suspected illegal pyrotechnics and “Selbstlaborate”, devices made by individuals rather than commercially. Police announced the confiscation as part of their enforcement work against dangerous and unlawful pyrotechnics. The specific quantities, locations of the seizures, and whether any suspects were arrested were not given in the release. The case status was left at the level of an ongoing police matter.
