Search for perpetrators after power sabotage: Large police operation in Hambach Forest ends without success
For days, the police have been searching for a 48-year-old man who is suspected of being responsible for attempted sabotage against the German power grid. A search in the Hambach Forest on Sunday was unsuccessful.
Police in Kerpen, west of Cologne, have ended a large-scale search operation for a 48-year-old man suspected of attempted sabotage attacks on the German power grid. The search, which involved up to 100 police vehicles, began at midday and was called off at 7pm without finding any leads or the suspect. The general manhunt for the suspect continues, with police keeping an eye on a nearby inhabited treehouse that was not searched due to a lack of available special forces.
The suspect, from Gevelsberg in the southern Ruhr region, is believed to have sent letters claiming responsibility for the attacks, suggesting he had insider knowledge.
