Stoning police car: DNA test for high-rise residents

A 22-story high-rise apartment building called 'Der Weiße Riese' in Kiel, Germany, was searched by approximately 100 police officers after a stone was thrown from one of the upper floors onto a patrol car during the night of June 1. The incident injured a female officer on the passenger seat, causing her to become non-serviceable, while her male colleague remained unharmed. Police believe the stone came from a higher balcony and have conducted a systematic search of the building, collecting DNA samples from all residents who were officially registered or living there at the time of the incident and are over 14 years old. This is part of an investigation into attempted murder, as prosecutors consider the act serious enough to warrant such measures. The police emphasized that providing DNA samples is voluntary, though they plan to request participation through letters if some residents cannot be reached directly. Due to the presence of many migrant residents, translators for Kurdish, Arabic, and Polish are accompanying the police to ensure clear communication.

Attempted murder: stone-throwing at patrol cars DNA DNA test for high-rise residents

In Kiel, Germany, police conducted voluntary DNA tests on residents of a high-rise apartment after a stone was thrown at a patrol car, injuring an officer. The incident occurred in early June when an unknown individual threw a paver stone from one of the upper floors, breaking the windshield and causing injuries to a 25-year-old policewoman. The stone was recovered with DNA evidence, prompting prosecutors to order a mass DNA test of all residents aged 14 and older in the 25-story building. Over 80% of those tested agreed to provide samples, which would be destroyed after matching. Police were supported by emergency units from Eutin during the operation.
