The purpose of the whole thing was to fight illegal migration, cross-border drug, weapon and property crime, according to the police.
Officials from the Federal Police Inspectorates in Offenburg and Weil am Rhein worked with the French gendarmerie for several hours.
“Two helicopters from the federal police squadron from Oberschleißheim were used to transport mobile control units quickly and dynamically between the control points in the districts of Ortenaukreis and Rastatt and in the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald as part of this special type of veiled manhunt,” says a press release.
