The police are continuing their investigations after the arrest of a suspect for attacks on the power supply in three federal states. “We currently have no indication that there are other perpetrators here,” said Brandenburg Police Headquarters spokeswoman Beate Kardels to the German Press Agency. “Nevertheless, this is of course also the further part of the investigation in order to rule it out completely.”
The police in North Rhine-Westphalia had previously arrested a 48-year-old suspected suspect near the Weisweiler substation near Aachen. According to the police, he had additional explosives with him when he was arrested, and there were more explosives in a tent nearby. He is said to be responsible for several attacks on the power supply in Brandenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Saxony.
