Two 16-year-olds were arrested on Friday morning after two robberies: As the Zurich city police announced on Friday, a 44-year-old man reported to the city regional police shortly after 1.45 a.m. He said he was threatened by two strangers at Lettensteg at around 1:15 a.m. with a stabbing weapon and robbed.
Almost at the same time, the operations center of the Zurich city police received a report about a very similar case.
