Germany's 'Forest Rambo' arrested in southwest after five-day manhunt
He disarmed police officers and forced them to search for him for several days.
Police arrested 31-year-old Ive Rausch, whom the media dubbed the "Forest Rambo", after several days of searching. This is reported by BBC.
On Sunday, July 12, police arrived at a forest near Oppenau in southwest Germany following a report of a suspicious man with a bow and arrows. Law enforcement officers found a hut in the forest where Rausch was illegally living.
At first the man cooperated with four police officers and allowed them to check his identity at the house, but then he pointed a pistol at them and forced them to hand over their weapons. He then fled into the forest.
It is noted that Rausch had lived in the forest for a long time and therefore knew it very well. This complicated the search for the man. For five days, an elite unit, helicopters, thermal detectors and scout dogs were used in the search.
Four pistols, which he had taken from the police officers, were found on Rausch during his arrest. A tip-off from a postman helped police detain the suspect. One person was wounded during the operation.
The man faces 5 to 15 years in prison.
