Public search for robbery in Hamburg-Horn
After two unknown people beat and robbed a 41-year-old man in early January of this year, Law enforcement is now looking for those responsible by releasing photographs and asking for information from the public.
According to the current status of the investigation carried out by the robbery department of the Mitte region II (LKA 164), the 41-year-old precious metals dealer got off at the Horner Rennbahn metro station to go home.
Two previously unknown men followed him and attacked him on Washingtonalley, using pepper spray and punching him. As the argument continued, the suspects stole the 41-year-old man’s bag.
After this, the alleged robbers fled with the loot in an unknown direction.
As a result of the attack, the victim suffered facial injuries.
Upon alarm, radio patrol vehicle crews began searches, which did not lead to the arrest of the unknown persons.
During the investigation, law enforcement officers received video recordings in which both criminals can also be seen.
At the request of the prosecutor, the judge ordered a public search with photographs of the attackers, who are described as follows:
Criminal 1:
- Height from 165 to 175 cm.
- about 35-45 years old
- Full beard
- strong growth
- so-called “crooked legs”
- dressed in dark
Criminal 2:
- about 25-30 years
- slimmer than suspect 1
The investigation is ongoing.
Officers now believe the suspected robbers had specifically targeted the 41-year-old man at several train stations earlier.
Anyone who can provide information about the offenders or who have made observations in this context is asked to call the police information line on 040/4286-56789 or contact the police station.
