The message was sent by means of WhatsApp in the previous week and Brandenburg experts got the tip-off late on Monday from two other German expresses, a police representative told the Associated Press (AP).

He is presently being addressed and the house is being looked by the state criminal examination office, Brandenburg police said.
Points of interest of the claimed plot can’t be discharged because of police operations, which are continuous, the police included.
