Another SEK mission took place in Offenbach am Main in Hesse on Tuesday. Several passers-by tried to bypass the police barriers.
Update from Wednesday, November 13, 2019, 11:33 a.m .: During the SEK operation in the Senefelderquartier in Offenbach, in which the police arrested an apparently confused man, the officers had to prevent passersby from circumventing the barriers on several occasions. Cyclists and pedestrians keep trying to “sneak in” under the white and red police barrier.
Above all, the uncertainty about the operation in connection with the news of the arrest of three alleged Islamic State (IS) supporters in Offenbach on the same day caused wild speculation. According to the police, there is no connection between the two incidents.
First message from Tuesday, November 12, 2019: Offenbach – Another SEK mission took place on Tuesday afternoon (November 12, 2019) in Senefelder Straße in Offenbach am Main. Special police officers temporarily arrested a resident in an apartment building, reports the police headquarters in Southeast Hesse.
The man was admitted to a specialist clinic after his arrest. According to the police, the background to the deployment in Offenbach was an initially unclear threat situation.

As reported by the police headquarters in Southeast Hesse, the SEK mission on Tuesday afternoon is not related to the three arrests on Tuesday morning. Special forces had arrested three supporters of the Islamic State in Offenbach am Main. The men planned a terrorist attack with a bomb or firearms in the Rhine-Main area in Hesse.

Another SEK assignment had completely different reasons: A production company from Offenbach had actually only wanted to make a rap video when the SEK suddenly intervened. The company can now be expensive to deploy.
