German Police Find Weapons Cache at Special Forces Soldier's Home
13:43 GMT 14.05.2020 (Updated: 10:11 GMT 07.12.2022) German police have found arms and explosives during a raid at the home of a special forces soldier, according to the BBC.
The special forces sergeant major has been under investigation since 2017.
According to reports he was hiding weapons at his home in Nordsachsen in the eastern state of Saxony.
The Dresden Prosecutor General said that a “large amount of evidence” was confiscated during the police raid.
"So far, ammunition, explosives and weapons have been made safe. The soldier involved has been arrested and is currently being questioned by the authorities concerned," said defence officials as quoted by the BBC.
The soldier is suspected of violating Germany’s Weapons Control Act.
