Burglary attack in Velen: cigarette robbery with a dramatic escape!

Ramsdorfer Straße, 46342 Velen, Deutschland - Burglary in a gas station in Velen: On the night of October 21, 2024, a criminal incident occurred, which quickly attracted the attention of the local police. At 02:30 a.m., unknown perpetrators violently entered a petrol station on Ramsdorfer Strasse. Their goal was primarily cigarettes, which they captured in the value of several thousand euros. The quick reaction of witnesses who heard the alarm and alerted the police played a crucial role here.

The burglars, a total of three male people, were observed by the witnesses how they got into a vehicle after the attack and took the escape. However, the perpetrators were less lucky than planned. On Eschstraße in Nordvelen, they lost control of their vehicle and landed on an adjacent field, where the car came to a stop. At this point they saw no other way out and fled on foot while they left their prey in the vehicle.

description of the perpetrators

The escape of the three men was not undetected. Witnesses were able to write down some characteristics of the suspects: all three perpetrators were approximately between 1.70 and 1.80 meters tall and had a sporty stature. To obscure their identity, they wore hoodies in different colors - ocher, light blue and black.

After the incident, a police helicopter was used to search the area for the fleeting perpetrators. Despite extensive search measures, however, the burglars remained unobtrusive. In the meantime, the police have directed a targeted request to the public: Who could observe the actions of the perpetrators or may have other important information that could be related to the break -in? Information can be given directly to the Borken criminal police on the phone number (02861) 9000.

This incident not only raises questions about the safety of the petrol stations in the Velen area, but also shows the importance of the neighborhood guard. The rapid reaction of the witnesses contributed to reporting the action in good time and alerting the police. It is to be hoped that the perpetrators can be caught soon so that the feeling of security in the community can be restored.
