Three Arrested in Berlin Spandau Shooting Investigation

Berlin police have apprehended three men in connection with a shooting at a house in the Spandau district that took place in May. The arrests, made on Thursday by a special unit, are linked to charges including attempted aggravated robbery, residential burglaries, and violations of weapons laws. The investigation, conducted by the special unit "Ferrum" (Latin for iron) and the investigative group "Telum" (Latin for weapon), involved executing six search warrants. During these searches, over 200 officers reportedly confiscated mobile phones and illegal drugs. The exact ages of the arrested men were not immediately disclosed, pending a judge's decision on arrest warrants. The incident leading to the arrests involved shots fired at a residential building on May 1. Investigators believe three individuals, aged between 27 and 48, had previously burglarized the same house in April. Additionally, two other suspects, aged 24 and 29, are accused of attempting to extort money from an unknown victim using weapons in June. Two other individuals are already in custody on unrelated charges.
