A major police operation in Potsdam’s city center on Saturday evening caused concern among residents as a large number of police officers were seen in the area. Additionally, a helicopter was spotted hovering over the city center, adding to the sense of urgency. Patrol cars were stationed on Behlertstrasse, further adding to the spectacle.
Despite the visible police presence, the Potsdam police remained tight-lipped about the incident when questioned by the Potsdamer Neuesten Nachrichten (PNN) later in the evening. The police stated that they were actively investigating the situation and would provide further details once they had more information. Refusing to confirm reports from residents about a potential shooting near the Netto supermarket on Brandenburger Strasse, the police emphasized the importance of maintaining secrecy during ongoing operations.
The lack of information from the authorities only served to heighten the intrigue surrounding the police operation in Potsdam’s city center that evening. With uncertainty still looming, residents could only speculate about the reasons behind the extensive police presence and the nature of the incident. As the investigation continued, residents awaited official updates from the police regarding the situation.
