The police have launched a major operation in the Hambacher Forest near Kerpen, west of Cologne.

According to dpa information, the operation is related to attempted acts of sabotage on the German power grid.

According to observations by a dpa reporter, up to 100 police vehicles were on site.

Because of the sabotage, a 48-year-old suspect has been looking for days.

The investigators published a search call on Saturday with two photos of the suspect from Gevelsberg in the southern Ruhr area.

The attempted acts of sabotage are concentrated in North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and most recently Saxony.

Brown coal is still mined and converted into electricity in all three federal states.

On Friday, officers found explosives in the suspect's Gevelsberg apartment.

Later, a special operations team stormed a truck at the Hambach opencast mine in Niederzier that had apparently been converted into a mobile home.

But the person they were looking for was not found.
