A cuddly bunny triggered a police operation on Bundesstraße 9 near Andernach. The police station was called on Holy Saturday because there was a package on the road on the B9 near Kettig in the direction of Koblenz, a police spokeswoman reported on Easter Sunday. When the patrol arrived at the supposed danger spot, there was no package to be seen. Instead, the officers found a small white cuddly bunny with two pink balloons.
The stuffed animal had probably fallen out of a moving car or been thrown, the police spokeswoman said. The bunny was "taken into protective custody" and "it was explained to him that it would be better to hide his Easter eggs in a meadow or in a garden instead of on the dangerous B9," according to the police report.
