Raid in Remscheid: SEK discovers dangerous weapons of war!

On the night of October 27, 2025, a large-scale deployment of special operations forces (SEK) in Remscheid caused a stir. The emergency services stopped a suspicious car at the Remscheid motorway exit on the A1 and temporarily arrested the driver. The car was seized while police experts thoroughly investigated the vehicle handover that night. Like that WDR Reportedly, investigators also found a frightening collection of war weapons, including anti-tank mines and explosives.

Witnesses reported several searches in residential and business premises, which were supported by the SEK. The public prosecutor's office confirmed the weapons discovery, which took place as part of measures against organized crime. Several search warrants were executed and searches continued into the early hours of the morning. Due to the acute danger posed by the items found, an apartment building was completely evacuated.

A network of crime

The background to these measures includes the fight against organized crime, which is a serious problem in Germany. According to that Federal Criminal Police Office Criminal groups are defined by the planned commission of crimes, often by more than two participants who act in unison. Italian organized crime is particularly active in Germany, which is divided into various groups such as the Cosa Nostra, Stidda, Camorra and 'Ndrangheta. These organizations are heavily involved in various areas of crime, such as drug trafficking and money laundering.

The coordinated approach of the authorities, which also included Europol representatives, shows the reach and interconnectedness of such criminal networks. In addition to Germany, two other European countries were also involved in the measure, which illustrates the cross-border dimension of organized crime.

The spiral of violence

The discovered weapons of war also shed a worrying light on the increasing threats from criminal organizations in the region. The “Obshyak” collective fund of Russian-Eurasian organized crime and its ideology are just a few examples of the structured and often brutal methods of these organizations. This type of crime poses not only a danger to individuals, but also a serious threat to society.

It remains to be seen how the further investigation will proceed and whether the operation in Remscheid is just the tip of the iceberg. What is clear, however, is that security authorities will continue to keep a close eye on organized crime developments in order to protect our community.

In the constant challenge of dealing with these threatening structures, close cooperation between the police, judiciary and international organizations is essential. The developments in Remscheid therefore not only represent local risks, but also reflect the comprehensive problems that various states are struggling with today. Citizens can hope for a clean and safe society - that such operations will quickly be followed by positive changes.
