Berlin (dpa) - According to information from the German Press Agency, Hessian investigators found weapons and ammunition in another Bundeswehr soldier and had the man temporarily arrested.

The man was picked up by a special task force on Sunday.

Authorities are investigating the soldier on suspicion of sedition, illicit possession of weapons and explosives and dangerous bodily harm.

The police seized handguns and long guns, ammunition, a hand grenade and explosives.

The Army Team Soldier, a team rank, is deployed at a location in Baden-Württemberg.
