In October 2021, a series of robberies occurred on a supermarket, twice in the same drugstore and at a gas station. The police were able to establish connections between the offenses. Now three young people and one adolescent have been identified as suspects.
In October of this year, the same drugstore on Kopernikusstrasse, a supermarket in Hinrichsring and a gas station on Vahrenwalder Strasse were attacked twice by a masked perpetrator (we reported). When carrying out the crime, the alleged perpetrator threatened the employee with a knife and asked for cash to be handed over. Through intensive investigations, an 18-year-old was identified and arrested as the alleged main culprit just four days after the last crime was carried out (the last robbery was on October 18, 2021). He is currently in the wave of investigations. Through further investigations, the other suspects (15, 16 and 16) of the jointly acting group could now be found.
On Tuesday, November 30th, 2021, the apartments of the alleged accomplices in Hanover were searched by the investigators with judicial decisions of the Hanover District Court. During the searches, crime clothes and cell phones were seized. The young people can be accompanied by a lawyer.
The investigations into robbery and heavy robbery extortion are ongoing. / bo, mr
