Police have stormed a home in Germany searching for a man who could have information about Madeleine McCann’s disappearance, 17 years after the incident.
Armed police in Germany have been spotted at an allotment hunting for a man said to have connections to paedophile and top Maddie suspect Christian Brueckner. They descended on the small house on the Kennelblick allotment in Braunschweig, Lower Saxony last week.
It’s reported that officers spent an hour outside the property owned by a man named as Ralph H – a 56-year-old is alleged to have worked closely with Brueckner.
The Sun reports up to 10 armed police officers in riot gear were seen outside Ralph H’s home in the community garden – and neighbours described the scene as “frightening”.
Brueckner is a prime suspect in Madeleine’s disappearance in Portugal in May 2007 and both men rented neighbouring allotment homes on the site – and Brueckner allegedly grew and sold marijuana together.
