Pistol found in family's pram

A stroller sold in an Internet auction in Germany came complete with a deadly plaything - a pistol loaded with six bullets. A young couple from the northern town of Verden found the 9 mm Sig Sauer pistol in a side pocket of the pram after collecting it from nearby Hamburg. They called the police. Officers searched the house of the 39-year-old seller, who could not explain how the weapon had got there.
