Man tries to board Aberdeen bound flight with loaded gun
26.07.09
A German man tried to board a plane at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport bound for Aberdeen with a loaded gun in his hand luggage, a Dutch police spokesman said, calling the act ‘stupid.’
Airport security staff discovered the gun during hand luggage checks and arrested the man. Police said he gave various explanations about why he had a gun with him, had no license for the weapon, and said the gun was most likely stolen.
The German was released from custody, as the judge ruled there were no signs was planning to use the weapon. He faces charges for illegal weapon possession. A police spokesman said it is very rare for passengers to try to board a plane with a loaded gun. He said: ‘This is very stupid, to say the least.'
