Drunken Quartet Triggers SEK Operation in Wuppertal

Wuppertal – A trio of inebriated individuals, with two hiding their faces beneath a blanket and one sporting a humorous T-shirt, set off an SEK operation in Wuppertal on a Monday evening.

Around 5 p.m., gunshots were reported from an apartment building on Schwarzbach Street, in the Oberbarmen district. The area was promptly cordoned off, and the special task force (SEK) was called in. Over one hundred officers descended upon the scene.

At 7:40 p.m., the SEK teams stormed the apartment. The highly trained officers took out the two men and the woman. Only one individual sustained minor injuries, and the only weapon confiscated was a blank-firing pistol.

Initially, four individuals were present in the apartment, drinking and firing shots from an alarm gun. Before the officers' arrival, the fourth individual involved departed the apartment.

The man (55) was later found nearby and was apprehended, joining the inebriated quartet. All four individuals were heavily intoxicated and had prior encounters with law enforcement. The quartet was eventually released.
