Suspicious suitcase in Unterföhring: S-Bahn stopped, chaos avoided!

on Tuesday evening, July 1, 2025, a suspicious suitcase on the S8 S8 in Unterföhring caused excitement and the commitment of the federal police. The officers were alerted after a stray piece of luggage was noticed in a train that drove from the airport towards the city center. At around 10:45 p.m., the train at the Unterföhring train station was stopped, and around 160 passengers had to leave the vehicle as a precaution. Fortunately, an additional S-Bahn could be made available, so that the travelers could continue their journey at short notice and without any problems without the need for care on site.

Special forces of the Federal Police Definition Service immediately set out to examine the suspicious suitcase. In order not to block the route to the airport, the train was brought to the Steinhausen business with police accompaniment. There the suitcase was finally opened and the relief was great: there were only a few items of clothing and an Italian ham. There was no evidence of an owner of the luggage, which is why the suitcase was handed over to the lost property office of Deutsche Bahn.

Caution in abandoned luggage

The federal police again warned against leaving luggage unattended, as this can result in considerable operations and disorders in rail traffic. Many can remember similar incidents as in Bielefeld a few weeks ago, where a suspicious suitcase also caused excitement. At that time, the explosive death service had to arrive because a suitcase was classified as dangerous, but later turned out to be harmless-it was game figures from a popular game inside.

The federal police are not only responsible for suspected cases, but also has the task of ensuring public security and order at train stations and trains. In addition to hazard defense, their main focus also includes combating vandalism and other crimes. The presence of the officials is intended to increase both the lenses and the subjective security of the travelers.

The events in Unterföhring once again show how important a prompt reaction is in such incidents. The orientation of the federal police, which can be experienced frequently, makes it clear: security is going on! The incident once again illustrates that you should always be vigilant even in quiet times.

The motto remains clear to the federal police: travel is certain as long as everyone stays vigilant. Dealing with suspicious luggage is one of your daily tasks and testifies to the constant willingness to have a good knack for the security of the citizens.
