Nach Angriffen auf Stromnetz: Verdächtiger Gegenstand an Umspannwerk in Dormagen entdeckt
Handelt es sich um eine Abschussvorrichtung, oder nur um einen schlechten Scherz? Die Polizei untersucht einen verdächtigen Fund an einem Umspannwerk in Dormagen.
A passerby discovered a suspicious object at an electricity substation in Dormagen, located between Cologne and Düsseldorf. The police spokesperson in Neuss suggested that it could be a shooting device, but this has not been confirmed yet. The object will now be examined by experts to determine if it was suitable for an attack on the power supply.
The WDR had previously reported on this. At this stage, it cannot be ruled out that it might be a decoy from a prankster, the spokesperson noted. There was no attack on the substation and no power outage occurred. Similar incidents took place in Bergheim just two days earlier, where several shooting devices were discovered at a substation west of Cologne.
Another incident like this was reported in Brandenburg. Investigators believe both incidents are linked to constitutionally hostile sabotage.
