German police on Tuesday announced the arrest of a 48-year-old man suspected of carrying out a series of sabotage attacks on the country's electricity network.

The suspect was reportedly spotted near the Weisweiler power station, close to Aachen in western Germany, after being sought by authorities for several days.

Investigators believe the suspect used homemade rockets and conductive wire to target high-voltage lines in three German states, apparently as part of a campaign against fossil fuels.

The attacks posed a serious threat to the nation's energy infrastructure and prompted a large-scale investigation. Police have not yet released details on the suspect's motives or potential accomplices.
