On August 19th, an unfortunate incident occurred at Bochum Central Station. The investigation is being led by the Federal Police Directorate Sankt Augustin, following a report of aggravated theft.
At around 03:10, a 45-year-old German national, who remains unnamed, approached a sleeping 31-year-old homeless man. The suspect, described as a man about 1.80 meters tall, wearing black sunglasses and carrying a black shoulder bag, repeatedly nudged the homeless man before taking a box of cigarettes from his pocket.
