In a large-scale razzia in Hamburg, Quickborn, and Lübeck, police searched six buildings on January 21. The investigation into serious extortion and deprivation of liberty in the rocker scene resulted in four arrests. The suspects are now in investigative custody.
On Wednesday morning, January 21, units of the Schleswig-Holstein state police conducted raids in Hamburg, Quickborn, and Lübeck. This followed an investigation into suspicions of serious extortion and deprivation of liberty in the rocker scene, ongoing since the end of 2025.
The operations were led by the Pinneberg criminal police and the Itzehoe public prosecutor's office. They were supported by officers from Lübeck, Eutin in the Ostholstein district, Norderstedt in the Segeberg district, and the Segeberg district. A total of six locations were searched, including the clubhouse of a rocker group in Lübeck. The main focus was on Hamburg.
The probe targets four men aged 21 to 49. During the searches, officers secured evidence and detected violations of the weapons law. "Furthermore, violations of the weapons law were detected," stated a release from the Bad Segeberg police directorate.
The four suspects were temporarily taken to local police stations and presented to the Itzehoe district court. The court ordered investigative custody for all, where they remain. Details on the background and evidence are withheld. "Further details on this proceeding cannot be provided at this time due to the ongoing investigation," emphasized police spokesperson Christopher Tamm.
The raids highlight ongoing efforts by authorities to combat organized crime in the region's rocker milieu.
