Stromnetz: Sabotageversuch an Umspannwerk in Dormagen – Fahnder suchen nach Verfasser eines Bekennerschreibens
Nach den Attacken auf Umspannwerke in Nordrhein-Westfalen und Brandenburg liegt ein Bekennerschreiben vor. In der Nacht folgten weitere Polizeieinsätze bei Aachen und Oldenburg.
Following attacks on distribution substations in North Rhine-Westphalia and Brandenburg, additional incidents occurred on Thursday evening. A pedestrian discovered a suspicious object at a distribution substation in Dormagen that night. According to a police spokesman, it was a "suspected discharge device." The police considered the incident a sabotage crime.
In Lower Saxony, the police sent a helicopter and tracking dogs to a distribution substation in Ganderkesee, Lower Saxony's Oldenburg district, because a switchgear room had been left open. However, they initially found no concrete evidence of a planned attack. A distribution substation in Weisweiler near Aachen was also inspected by the police.
Furthermore, a confession letter emerged, which the police in Cologne received, and allegedly was signed by a man from the Gevelsberg area in North Rhine-Westphalia. It referred to the fight against fossil energy sources, but it is unclear if it is just a ride-along. Transmission system operator 50 Hertz informed the Handelsblatt that they had increased their precautions and surveillance measures. They confirmed that distribution substations are now being systemically inspected on suspicion.
