Power supply attacks: Power sabotage: Search for perpetrators in Hambach Forest unsuccessful
For days, police have been searching for a 48-year-old man from North Rhine-Westphalia who is believed to be responsible for attempted sabotage acts on the German power grid. A large-scale operation in the Hambach Forest was unsuccessful.
A large police operation in the Hambacher Forst near Cologne, Germany, has failed to find a 48-year-old man suspected of attempted sabotage attacks on the country's power grid. The search, which involved up to 100 police vehicles, was called off on Saturday evening with no leads found. The suspect is believed to be connected to several sabotage acts in North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony, and a nationwide manhunt is ongoing.
The Hambacher Forst is a symbolic area for the fight against lignite mining and for the energy transition in Germany.
