Ax attack in Neumarkt: Police are urgently looking for witnesses!
In a scandalous incident, there was a robbery at a hypermarket in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz on Thursday, October 17, 2024. An unknown perpetrator approached the shop on Regensburger Strasse around 7 p.m., where he threatened an employee with an ax and demanded cash. Thanks to the courageous intervention of a customer, something worse was prevented and the perpetrator escaped without any loot.
The situation immediately brought the police into action. Several patrols were mobilized to search for the fugitive. The unknown man is described as being around 187 cm tall, slim and athletic.
