Fear at Bietigheim-Bissingen train station: three raids in four weeks!

Bietigheim-Bissingen, Deutschland - A gray awakening in Bietigheim-Bissingen! At the tranquil train station of the city, a series of brutal raids have been shaking the minds in the recent past. Within just four weeks there were three attacks, in which unsuspecting passers -by became victims of violent groups during the night. An eerie pattern runs through the deeds that were always committed to a Sunday in the dark of the night and always went out of several attackers. The Stuttgarter Nachrichten report of darkness and horror that spread over the otherwise peaceful city.

The first victim, a 28-year-old man, was attacked in the early morning of November 24th when he was waiting for a bus stop. Without warning, several blows hailed him until he lost consciousness. His bad luck: his wallet had also disappeared afterwards. The same picture two weeks later! This time a 29-year-old, unexpectedly and violently attacked in an underpass. Face and pride broken, he found himself without a smartphone and coat. The brutal cycle continued a week later with another attack on two men. However, and here there is a difference: This time the pockets of the victims remained unaffected.

fear and uncertainty in the community

Could there be a connection between these attacks? The citizens of Bietigheim-Bissingen wonder if they can still walk through the streets of their city. A spokesman for the Ludwigsburg police department is calm and explained that it is individual cases that were by no means reason for panic. However, the police are on alert and asks eyewitnesses to contact the security authorities with information. Regardless of the groups of perpetrators who have so far got off, he emphasizes: "People can move safely."

The hunt for the perpetrator groups

So far, the investigators have been puzzled without arrests. All levers are set to find witnesses that can help the police officers. But despite all the measures, success has so far failed to materialize and the unrest in the city is growing. An empty station ward gives the appearance of threat and danger. The Stuttgarter Zeitung emphasized how much the crimes are similar.

It remains to be seen whether the police manage to ventilate the veil of the crime and bring peace back to Bietigheim-Bissingen. Until then, the citizens of the town should not be guided by the panic but by caution and community sense.
