It had quickly been clear that of the ammunition danger could emanate, say it in a message to the police. Specialists of the Swiss army in the area of explosive ordnance disposal and mine clearance (KAMIR) confirmed this assumption. They identified one of the shells as sharp German 90 mm artillery grenade from the First world war.

The three remaining floors were empty and harmless. The EOD transported the over a hundred year's dud on Monday lunch with a special vehicle. The service building, where the police and Prosecutor's office are located, was evacuated for around an hour as a precaution. The loading of the unexploded bombs, the road was blocked briefly. Those who wanted to dispose of the ammunition to the recycling plant, and in whose possession was come to, is unclear. The Canton police of Aargau has taken up the investigation.
