A 22-year-old forgot his backpack with marijuana and amphetamines in Braunschweig main station - and then wanted to pick it up from the federal police.

The man called the federal police on Sunday morning and asked if his backpack had been handed in there, the authority said on Monday. The officials asked Deutsche Bahn, where the find of the backpack was confirmed. When police officers opened the backpack, they were amazed: the officers found a can of white powder in it along with marijuana. According to the rapid drug test, it was amphetamines.

The man was informed that his backpack had been found and appeared at the federal police station. There he identified the backpack as the one he was looking for. The authorities suspected that he probably hoped that the federal police officers would not have looked at the content.

In fact, he did not receive the drugs, but a criminal complaint for illegal possession of narcotics. The drugs were then confiscated and handed over to the responsible state police.
