Young men in Würselen: Three robberies shock the city!

Würselen (ots)

In the past two weeks, the city of Würselen has experienced a worrying series of robbery crimes. There were two incidents of assaults on young men on October 4, 2024, while another incident occurred the following Friday.

The first robbery occurred on the afternoon of October 4th, when a young man who had arranged to meet a woman via the Telegram messaging service arrived at the agreed meeting point. He was met there by several young people who beat and kicked him before stealing his smartphone and fleeing. Just a few hours later, another man experienced a similar fate. He was also attacked, but fortunately the perpetrators let him go without taking anything.

Renewed incidents on October 11th

A week later, on October 11, another man was the victim of a robbery after also arranging to meet a woman on Telegram. In this case, too, the perpetrators stopped him, demanded cash and beat him before stealing his cell phone. All three incidents appear to have been carried out by a group of four or five people, said to be between 15 and 20 years old.

The increasing number of these incidents has put the criminal investigation department on alert. Investigations are already underway and the police have carried out initial forensic investigations at the crime scenes. The collected evidence and information from witnesses will now be carefully evaluated. The men affected suffered some serious injuries during the attacks, which underlines the seriousness of these crimes.

According to the investigation, there is a suspicion that these are the same perpetrators who were active in all three cases. This information could be crucial in identifying and arresting those responsible.

It is now important for the residents of Würselen to be particularly vigilant and to inform the police of any suspicious activity. Local authorities have also called for greater caution when using social networks to make contact. In order to protect themselves, young people in particular should make sure to meet in public places in the future and possibly bring accompanying people with them.

The incidents in Würselen are an alarming signal for security in the city. Local media, like www.presseportal.de, are already reporting on the developments, as these incidents not only affect the immediate victims, but can also affect the entire community's sense of security.

The police investigation is still ongoing and the urban population hopes that the crimes will be solved soon and that the security situation in the region will improve.
