A attentive witness successfully prevented a suspected departure of a cigarette machine in Gelsenkirchen on Friday morning. At 1 a.m. the 23-year-old witness reported suspicious activities on the machine on the tube road and immediately chose the emergency call 110. The rapid commitment of the police led to the three suspects that were already being created at the machine.

arrest of the suspects

The alarmed officials arrived when the men tried to get out of the dust. But the 39, 46 and 52 year old suspects remained and could be controlled. All three are without a permanent residence in Germany and were temporarily arrested. The police ensured tools that the suspects had used to crack the already damaged but not yet broken machine.

Thanks to the rapid action of the witness and the rapid reaction of the police, worse could be prevented. This crucial intervention shows the importance of watchful citizenship and courageous action in critical situations.
