Three arrests following shooting attack on e-scooter rider in Delmenhorst
As reported by Google News DE — Crime (de), three suspects were arrested in connection with an attempted homicide in Delmenhorst on 20 August — two of them in Spain, one in Germany.
The attack claimed a 48-year-old victim in mid-September of the previous year. The man was riding an e-scooter in Delmenhorst when two people on a motorbike approached and fired several shots at him. The victim was hit multiple times and had to undergo emergency surgery. He survived with serious injuries.
The investigation led across borders to Spain, where there was evidence of the whereabouts of two suspected perpetrators. Europol coordinated the exchange of information between the authorities involved and supported cross-border cooperation. Operations in Germany and Spain were carried out simultaneously.
During searches, officers secured extensive evidence, including loaded firearms, according to police. All three suspects are linked to organised crime. Further individuals are suspected of having assisted in the attack.
The investigation is ongoing. According to police, it remains unclear, amongst other things, which of the accused fired the shots and whether there are further people involved.
