Overview
- Police deployed roughly 300 officers on Monday evening to execute judicial search warrants across more than ten sites in Berlin and one in Brandenburg.
- The action was led by the LKA’s special unit BAO “Ferrum” and included SEK, MEK and federal specialist teams with an armored ENOK vehicle at the Hells Angels clubhouse in Biesdorf.
- Authorities said the searches covered a motorcycle-club clubhouse and several private residences connected to the group as part of investigations into firearms crime.
- Ferrum was created in November 2025 to focus on gun violence and violent groups and has opened over 720 investigations, 483 of which police link to firearms cases.
- Police have not yet confirmed whether weapons, other evidence or arrests were made and are still processing identities and material, a development that could increase pressure on organized networks and lead to further operations.
