Police said the search for two men for involvement with the notorious German group Red Army Faction (RAF), ended inconclusively.
About 130 police officers travelled to find Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg, members of the so-called third generation of the RAF militant group on suspicion of involvement in a series of robberies and at least one attempted murder, Berlin police said.
A third member, Daniela Klette, was arrested in Berlin on Monday following a raid by Lower Saxony and Berlin police officers with the involvement of Europol. The 65-year-old is being held in custody having been brought before a judge in Verden, Lower Saxony.
The interior minister of Lower Saxony, Daniela Behrens, called the Klette arrest a “fantastic success” and said it sent out the message “that terrorists in Germany can never feel safe.”
Lower Saxony police earlier reported two men had been arrested, but later said the two they were looking for had not been found.
