On Friday, the police deployed a special operations team to an operation in the small town of Vieritz (Havelland district).
The trigger was a decision by the district court, suggested by the youth welfare office, said a police spokeswoman on Friday evening. She initially did not provide any further details.
There is no danger to the general public and has never existed, said the spokeswoman. She initially did not provide any information on the question of whether individual people were in danger.
► According to BZ information, it is about a custody dispute – and it is said to be known that the man involved in the dispute owns weapons.
The town’s main street is closed and some residents are not allowed to go to their homes.
The police have been on site since 1:45 p.m. According to the spokeswoman, this is a “static” operational situation.
Vieritz is a district of the municipality of Milower Land, about 20 kilometers northwest of Brandenburg an der Havel.
