Investigators Probe €150,000 Speed-Camera Trailer Bombing in Sprötze

Authorities are reviewing live-streamed footage from the destroyed unit as part of a forensic blast analysis to pinpoint the perpetrators.

Overview

  • Unknown attackers detonated the new video-enabled speed-camera trailer on Hannoversche Straße at around 3:30 AM on August 2, reducing the €150,000 unit to wreckage.
  • This incident follows a 2024 fire attack that destroyed the trailer’s predecessor and underscores ongoing sabotage against traffic enforcement in Landkreis Harburg.
  • The trailer was chosen for its live-streaming capability, and investigators are now extracting and scrutinizing recorded data in hopes of identifying those responsible.
  • Forensics teams have collected explosive debris and are analyzing blast patterns and fragments that were hurled across the street by the detonation.
  • Landkreis Harburg’s traffic monitoring service says the video evidence could reveal how the device was triggered and lead to the attackers’ prosecution.
