Drama in Wahlstedt: robbery makes business owners despair

Wahlstedt/Bad Segeberg. "I can no longer work alone," she reported in a current legal proceedings in Bad Segeberg, which deals with the consequences of the robbery on Friday, April 12, 2024. Ultimately, you only have the desire to simply forget this traumatic event.

The incident occurred during an ordinary working day on which the 47-year-old was alone in business because her husband was sick. Suddenly Adrian S. (name changed) entered the shop, initially looked harmless and asked about cat food. But in reality he had completely different plans: he collected his courage for an attack.

perpetrator apologizes for robbery in Wahlstedt

Adrian S. allegedly left business to get cash, but then returned with animal feed. Instead, he threatened the owner with a one -hand knife and asked her to give him money. The young man played with the idea of regulating the situation in a friendly or violent manner - his decision was made in a quick variant. In panic, the woman gave him two 50-euro notes, which S. then inserted with a quick departure.

The 19-year-old was REUIG in the courtroom: "I'm sorry, I needed the money for drugs." He claimed that he did not want to create fear and wished that he could undo the crime - this received little understanding of the injured party. He also wrote a letter to apologize what was considered inadequate by the witness.

After the attack, the owner was initially forced to continue working, only with the support of her son she contacted the police. Thanks to surveillance camera recordings and police investigations, the perpetrator could be identified quickly, and the following Monday the officials were in front of his door.

slipped into the drug swamp: perpetrator needed money for cocaine

A look back at his way to drug addiction also gave S. in court: "I came into contact with drugs such as cocaine and painkillers when I was in training as a carer and finally lost everything that was important to me." After the separation from his girlfriend, he fell into deep depression and was looking for a distraction in alcohol and gambling. This then led him to a friend who offered him drugs, with which he increasingly went into dependency.

The young man had also stated in court that he took part in a cold withdrawal and was now clean again. His plans for the future were also loud: he wants to start an apprenticeship as a nursing assistant that is of great importance for him. However, these aspects did not remain unnoticed, because the youth court assistance saw both dangers and opportunities in his situation. The loss of his grandfather could possibly drive him back into addiction.

The allegations included not only the attack, but also a violation of the weapons law, since he kept a invited shotgun in his car without permission. Nevertheless, he was decided not to use violence.

The court discussed long before it finally made a decision: for the defendant, juvenile justice was applied, which gave him the chance of a suspended sentence. If he had been convicted of adult law, he would have had to expect a minimum penalty of five years. The decision adapted to a two -year absence of crimes and several therapeutic requirements to enable S.

The process shows how complex the situation of young perpetrators can be, especially when drugs and emotional problems play a central role in their life. It remains to be seen whether Adrian S. can use the chance given to steer his life in a positive direction. Further information on this case can in an article by www.ln-online.de .
