Kriminalität: Polizei findet Bekennerschreiben nach Sabotage am Stromnetz
Die Sabotage-Serie an Hochspannungsleitungen beschäftigt die Polizei. Der Tatverdächtige konnte bislang nicht gefunden werden – dafür aber ein Schreiben, in dem sich jemand zur Tat bekennt.
Recent sabotage attacks on Germany's power grid led police near Aachen to find another confession letter. The letter was discovered alongside several discharge devices near the Weisweiler power plant on Monday, the police announced. The content of the letter could not be disclosed for investigative reasons. Whether this letter and the discovered discharge devices were created by the 48-year-old suspect wanted for days remains to be determined.
According to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur, the designs resemble those found by investigators at several sensitive energy supply locations in North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony. However, the 48-year-old suspect had written detailed information about his actions in two confession letters that became public in recent days.
It is also possible that a copycat has used his actions. Hearing thunder and bangs during the search near Weisweiler on Monday evening around 9:00 PM, the police reported. However, no damage had been detected so far, the police added.
