Attempted Kioskräber in Bochum: Refuge with a gun!

Attempted Kioskräber in Bochum: Refuge with a gun!

Schulte-Hordelhoff-Str. 1, 44866 Bochum, Deutschland - in Bochum, on Friday, December 6th, a terrifying attempted robbery on a kiosk in Schulte-Hordelhoff-Straße occurred. Around 8:55 p.m., two masked perpetrators entered the kiosk armed with a knife and a firearm and threatened the 49-year-old employee and her 54-year-old husband, who were in the business. Despite the threats, the couple refused to open the cash register. This meant that one of the robbers put a shot in the air before both fled in an unknown direction without prey. The police immediately initiated a search, which, however, did not lead to success. The two perpetrators are described as male and between 18 and 19 years old, with one in a black winter jacket with fur hood and the other dressed in a black jacket with blue jeans. The Bochum police will receive information on this incident on 0234 909-8105, as was reported on radioenneperuhr.de

Just a few months earlier, on February 20, a similarly dramatic incident occurred in Bochum-Langendreer. Here a 20-year-old robber tried to blackmail cash in a drinking hall on the old Bahnhofstrasse under threat with a knife. But the owner of the drinking hall was not intimidated and actively defended himself against the attacker. In the middle of a physical argument, the perpetrator managed to flee first, but the brave owner and other witnesses caught up with him. Thanks to the quick intervention by the police, the robber was arrested a little later. The criminal police also included the investigation, as described in a report on Lokalkompass.de These two incidents illustrate the increasing danger of robberies in the city of Bochum.
