Lower Saxony police arrested three individuals at a local residence following a targeted vehicular assault late Monday evening.
Authorities confirmed Tuesday morning that those involved belong to extended families previously known to law enforcement for clan-related criminal activity, reports Junge Freiheit.

— JUNGE FREIHEIT (@jungefreiheit) October 27, 2026The incident unfolded when a suspect drove a BMW directly into a group of people standing on a street before abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot. Investigators believe the driver and the victims were acquaintances.
According to the German Press Agency (dpa), multiple vehicles sustained damage during the attack, with an on-scene reporter noting flattened tires, a shattered rear window, and bullet holes.
Police initially discovered the situation during a routine traffic stop, firing shots toward the BMW upon realizing what was happening. While the victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, authorities cordoned off the scene for several hours to conduct a forensic investigation.
Statewide data cited by JF reveals that Lower Saxony police recorded 2,691 crimes linked to organized clan structures last year, primarily involving violent offenses, property damage, forgery, and theft.
German citizens account for over 56 percent of the suspects in these cases, with the Lebanese Miri clan and the Arab-Kurdish Al-Zein family identified as the most active networks in the region.
However, as Remix News often notes and as indicated by the foreign ethnicity of the clans mentioned, “German citizens” can also include those who were migrants themselves but have since acquired German citizenship or children of migrants.
This past April, data from the PKS 2025, published by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), showed that foreigners are responsible for 41 percent of all violent crimes and 38 percent of all murders, despite accounting for just 15 percent of the population.
Just a month ago, Remix News reported on notorious Lebanese clan leader Issa Remmo celebrating the Left’s Party’s election win in Berlin. Members of the family have been convicted in two of Germany’s most spectacular art thefts: the 100-kilogram “Big Maple Leaf” gold coin from the Bode Museum in 2017 and the 2019 Green Vault burglary in Dresden.
And last summer, a story broke about a Syrian clan patriarch with three wives married under Islamic custom, 32 children, and 25 grandchildren who received state child support payments of nearly €100,000 a year.
Some two-thirds of this family’s members have prior criminal records.
