A Syrian man was arrested in Germany as a suspect of involvement in preparations for a terror attack in the Netherlands.

Police said the 26-year-old was arrested Saturday in the western city of Mainz following an extradition request from the Netherlands, without providing his name.

A statement from police said the suspect has neither an official residence nor a criminal record in Germany, AP reported.

The apartment where he was found was searched.

German police said they couldn't give further details, which they said are a matter for the police in the Dutch city of Rotterdam who are leading the investigation.
