Power supply attacks: Power sabotage: Police search for perpetrators in Hambach Forest
For days, police have been searching for a 48-year-old man from North Rhine-Westphalia who is suspected of being responsible for attempted sabotage against the German power grid. A massive operation is currently underway in the Hambach Forest.
Police are conducting a large-scale search in Hambacher Forst near Kerpen, west of Cologne, for a 48-year-old man suspected of attempted sabotage attacks on Germany's power grid. The suspect, from Gevelsberg in the southern Ruhr region, is believed to have sent letters claiming responsibility for the attacks, which targeted North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony.
Police have been searching for him since the weekend, releasing photos of the suspect and a bicycle he may have used. A search of his Gevelsberg home on Friday uncovered explosives, and a special unit also raided a truck converted into a mobile home near the Hambach open-pit mine.
