Sabotage: Plattes Gras verrät Strom-Saboteur – Bodycam filmt Festnahme
Tagelang hält die Fahndung nach einem Strom-Saboteur die Polizei in Atem. Zwei junge Autobahnpolizisten hatten am Ende den richtigen Riecher. Ihre Bodycam dokumentiert die Festnahme.
Two young police officers followed a fleeting clue, a tangle of grass on a field road, which led to the arrest of a 48-year-old suspected energy saboteur, sought across Europe. Despite not being directly involved in the extensive search, these two highway patrol officers discovered the suspect's hideout and apprehended him. One of the officers even activated his body camera.
The Deutsche Presse-Agentur was able to view the recordings, which depict the pair following the trail through the grass and encountering a man about 200 meters off the road. One of the officers drew his gun, ordering the man to lie down. The suspect complied, answering all commands. Immediately, he admitted to being the suspect, the officers later confirmed.
Then, handcuffs clicked shut. The pursuit had ended about 800 meters from the Weisweiler power plant near Aachen, following a day of media coverage and a major police effort across North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg, and Saxony.
