Attempted robbery in Ganderkesee: Police are looking for witnesses!

5. November 2024 - 4:30 p.m.

A attempted robbery in Ganderkesee caused excitement! On November 2, 2024, around 6:15 p.m., a couple (51 and 55 years old) became the goal of two criminals in their own apartment. One of the perpetrators was disguised as a parcel messenger, completely with a delivery in his hand, while the other hid behind the house entrance. When the 55-year-old opened the door, he was threatened with a gun and was to be forced back into the house. But the victims showed remarkable courage: the man closed the door with all their strength and prevented the perpetrators from penetrating. The two hastily fled towards Bahnhofstrasse, while the couple, luckily unharmed, suffered a shock.

The police did not allow time to pass and started extensive searches, including service dogs and a helicopter. So far, however, the perpetrators have remained at large. The description of the criminals is promising: the first perpetrator, about 30 years old, measures 175 to 180 cm and wore a black baseball cap and a black and yellow top. His accomplice is described at 190 cm, slim and darkly dressed. The authorities ask the public for help: information is welcome on 04431/941-0!

The police continue to investigate with high pressure, especially with regard to the second perpetrator. Notes from the population are still in demand!
