BERLIN (Sputnik) — The Bild tabloid does not specify where the arrests were carried out, but it is known that early-hours raids took place in apartments and refugee shelters in Berlin, Dortmund and Emmerich.
German television, meanwhile, said the arrests took place in Dortmund.
On Monday, a truck rammed into a crowd at the Berlin Christmas market on the Breitscheidplatz square, killing 12 people and injuring over 40 others.
The German Prosecutor’s Office offered on Wednesday a reward of up to 100,000 euros (over $104,400) for leads that would help detain the suspect in the attack, Tunisian national Anis Amri.
