Police caught suspect after menacing weapon in goods!
A worrying incident caused a stir in Waren over the weekend. Police carried out a large-scale operation after a 39-year-old man threatened via messenger with a picture showing him holding a gun-like object. This didn't leave the emergency services unmoved, so they searched for the suspect for hours, and a police dog was even used. However, the search of his apartment had no significant results, as We are Müritzer reports.
The man was finally found in Waren on Sunday morning. Due to his health condition, he was taken to a clinic for safety and treatment. He is suspected of being involved in another incident on Thursday in which he threatened a 21-year-old cyclist with a weapon on Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Straße. This incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. when he briefly followed the young cyclist towards Springer Street.
Investigations and calling for witnesses
The background to his threat remains unclear and the police investigation is ongoing. This information has not been specified at this time as the investigation is ongoing. Anyone who made observations on Thursday evening is asked to contact the police in Waren on 03991 / 1760. The investigation is being led by the Neubrandenburg police station, as Nordkurier reports.
Such incidents also raise questions about the general security situation, which has not been easy to assess in Germany in recent years. Current statistics show that although the total number of crimes fell by 1.7% in 2024, there was an increase in crimes that affected the population's sense of security (see Statista). Crimes against personal freedom are of particular interest in this regard because they are often highly emotionally charged.
In this context, it is clear that the police continue to be called upon, not only to resolve acute cases, but also to strengthen citizens' trust in the security authorities. Stay informed and pay attention to your surroundings – safety starts small!
