Why It Matters
The Hamburg police are increasingly carrying out measures against armed crime.
Sharp firearms and lots of cash: After a major operation by the Hamburg police last night, two men are in custody. The 46-year-old and the 25-year-old are suspected of money laundering and are also said to have violated the weapons law. Five other men who were temporarily arrested have now been released. The police initially did not want to confirm media reports that a leading member of the rocker group “Hells Angels” was among those arrested.
As the night continued, the emergency services found a car in Hafencity that was suspicious and stopped it. A 24-year-old and a 25-year-old were sitting in the car. The police also found a sharp weapon with ammunition on the older man. During further measures, 3,000 euros in cash were also discovered. Both were temporarily arrested and proceedings were initiated on suspicion of money laundering - but only the 25-year-old was taken to prison.
Operations against armed crime
According to the police, further measures are planned in the coming weeks. "We pursue a clear and consistent line against armed criminals. Zero tolerance for carrying illegal weapons in Hamburg!" said police spokesman Sebastian Born.
