Criminals Swiftly Lift a Gold Chain During a Daylight Theft on a Busy Street - Urgent Appeal for Witnesses
On the afternoon of June 20, a disturbing incident occurred on Gracht Street. A 62-year-old Sri Lankan woman was the victim of a robbery.
According to the police, the perpetrators were two unknown individuals who approached the victim from behind in a gray Seat Toledo. The vehicle, with a broken license plate, was spotted fleeing the scene shortly after the incident.
During the robbery, one of the suspects offered jewelry to the victim, which she declined. However, one of the suspects, who is approximately 1.85 meters tall, muscular, with black hair, a beard, fluent in German, and dressed in dark clothing, then snatched the woman's gold chain and pushed her to the ground. The shorter suspect, who wore a white shirt, also took part in the attack. Both suspects are estimated to be around 25 years old.
The victim sustained minor injuries during the attack and was provided with immediate medical attention.
The Central City Police Department is currently conducting an investigation into the incident. The Criminal Investigation Unit 13 is particularly seeking witnesses with information about the suspects or any suspicious activity around Gracht Street at 4:00 PM.
The police are urging anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information that could aid the investigation to come forward. Contact the Essen Police Department at 0201/829-0 or via email at [email protected].
The police are hopeful that with the public's help, they can apprehend the suspects and bring them to justice. The perpetrators are still at large, but the investigation is ongoing.
