Gefährliche und explosive Chemikalien hat ein Mann in seiner Wohnung in Chemnitz gehortet. Außerdem seien dort Substanzen sichergestellt worden, die der 63 Jahre alte Mieter vermutlich nicht hätte besitzen dürfen, teilte die Polizei mit.

Einsatzkräfte einer Spezialgruppe des Landeskriminalamtes Sachsen untersuchten die Chemikalien und stellten fest, dass eine nicht sicher zu handhaben war. Deswegen brachten die Spezialisten den Stoff an den Stadtrand und machten ihn am Abend unschädlich.

In der Wohnung des 63-Jährigen war eine große Anzahl an Gefäßen mit chemischen Substanzen entdeckt worden. Die Berufsfeuerwehr Chemnitz prüfte die Stoffe und stellte fest, dass sie teilweise explosiv waren.
