In the investigation into the case of a suspected "Reich citizen" who is said to have shot a police officer in Boxberg (Main-Tauber district), there was another police operation on Friday.

"There were planned criminal procedural follow-up measures," said a spokesman for the Heilbronn police.

He did not initially provide any further details.

According to information from security circles, a special task force (SEK) and the customs investigation office were deployed again.

Boxberg - The competent public prosecutor's office in Karlsruhe could not initially be reached.

Due to the events in April, the use of force was somewhat higher, said the police spokesman.

The Federal Public Prosecutor is investigating the alleged "Reich citizen".

He is responsible because of the “special importance of the matter”.

On April 20, a special task force wanted to search a building in the Main-Tauber district.

It was about the suspicion of illegal possession of weapons.

According to the police, the 54-year-old suspect opened fire and injured a SEK officer.

The public prosecutor accuses the detainee, who is in custody, of attempted murder with bodily harm and illegal possession of a weapon of war.

He was assigned to the "Reichsbürger" scene.

Even before the police operation, the Baden-Württemberg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution had him in their sights.

The officers found weapons of war, ammunition and Nazi objects in his house.
