Federal police officers have stopped a van with ten unsecured dogs without the necessary documents in the hold at the border with Poland before entering the country. According to a police statement, the officers checked the van at the Hagenwerder border crossing on Tuesday.
The 62-year-old driver, a 63-year-old woman and a small dog were sitting in the driver's compartment. However, there was clearly more barking than could have been caused by the small animal. When the officers opened the hold, "they were presented with an unexpected sight", it said.
