Overview

• At Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, federal police detained a 40-year-old wanted by Berlin prosecutors and found more than 600 prescription tablets hidden in his clothing and luggage, opening new cases for document forgery and drug-law violations.
• In Hamburg-Rotherbaum, a thief stole a rucksack from an unmarked police car that contained a service weapon, which remains missing despite an SEK arrest two days later; an internal review is examining the officer’s conduct.
• Police in Hamburg-Farmsen-Berne shot a knife-wielding man in the leg during what they described as a threatening confrontation; he was arrested and hospitalized as internal investigators review the firearm use.
• In Munich, two suspects on a motorcycle ripped a high-value watch from a 24-year-old driver’s wrist at a red light on Ludwigstraße, and detectives are checking links to earlier cross-city snatch robberies.
• Separately, Nürnberg officers arrested a BMW driver who fled a stop and lacked a valid license with synthetic drugs found in the car, and Freiburg police held a 23-year-old after two bus drivers were attacked at a Littenweiler terminus.
