Central Station in Hamburg - An unattended bag prompts a law enforcement response.

A railway employee alerted the control room about a missing suitcase taken off the Budapest-Hamburg train EC 172 by an unidentified person around 00:23. The individual allegedly fled the scene without the suitcase.

Because there was a possibility of hazardous materials, the concerned area on the platform had to be cordoned off, and tracks 7 and 8 had to be closed. A canine specialist from the Federal Police arrived with an explosives detection dog, who didn't detect any explosives.

Upon manual opening of the suitcase, personal travel articles, mostly clothing, were found. German Railways (DB AG) received the suitcase as lost and property, lifting the operation at approximately 02:10. The Federal Police offers no information on disruptions to train service.

The Federal Police advise that travelers should never leave their luggage unattended in stations or on board trains and report any abandoned luggage to DB AG employees or the Federal Police immediately.
