In the disaster area on the Ahr, the police are keeping an eye on possible activities by right-wing extremists and the so-called “lateral thinkers” scene.

“We know about the presence from the social media and are of course also present on site,” said a police spokesman on Wednesday of the German press agency. Don’t look the other way. “If people from this spectrum present themselves there in public, we cannot ignore it. We are evaluating that from the police. ” On Tuesday, the Koblenz police announced on Twitter that they knew that right-wing extremists were currently posing as “carers on site”.

The spokesman said on Wednesday that the authorities were aware that Ahrweiler, which was particularly badly affected by the flooding, was moving a police-like car with the label “Peace Vehicle”. “Such a paint job is not forbidden as long as it does not say police, it does not have a blue light or a sovereign police coat of arms,” ​​said the spokesman. According to the police, the false report was spread from this vehicle on Tuesday that the number of emergency services would be reduced. The police are still in the disaster area without interruption.
