Brutal robbery in Warstein: Taxi driver attacked with pepper spray!
Warstein becomes a crime scene! In a dramatic night attack, two aggressive passengers stole money from a taxi driver. Armed with a sharp object on the neck and pepper spray, the perpetrators demanded that the driver hand over cash. The taxi driver, who drove himself from the “Haus Kupferhammer” bus stop in Warstein to the Netto market in Belecke, alerted the police at 12:20 a.m. on the night of Friday to Saturday. The perpetrators fled in an unknown direction after their ruthless attack. Soester Anzeiger reports this shocking incident.
The pressure is growing on the police to catch the perpetrators quickly. The robbers' dual tactics of first striking and then fleeing across the Netto area with the banknotes led the officers to search at full speed that same night - unfortunately without success so far. Supported by other emergency services from Lippstadt, they combed the area looking for suspects. The perpetrator description: two men, 175 centimeters tall, between 20 and 30 years old, wrapped in black winter jackets and hats and of Arab descent - there was hardly any communication in German during the crime, apart from the word “money”.
Dangerous game with life
Such attacks, which are traumatizing and dangerous for the driver, appear to be increasing in the region. It is inexplicable and dangerous when media reports give the impression that easy money could be made by attacking taxi drivers. The amount of the loot, often confidential information, is often unnecessarily made public. Taxi Times sharply criticizes exactly this point.
