Ratingen-Homberg: Reexamining the Location - Older man robbed while using wheelchair

Around 1:15 PM, on Wittenhausweg, a man from Ratingen was sitting at a wooden stand when suddenly, a stranger appeared and without warning, pushed him and his wheelchair, stealing a gold chain worth thousands of euros. The thief then escaped towards Brachter Straße.

The perpetrator is estimated to be around 30 to 40 years old, standing 1.75 to 1.85 meters tall, with a slim build. He was wearing a black motorcycle helmet, black leather jacket, and pants, and was riding a black Suzuki with the Neusser license plate (NE-).

The 72-year-old man was not injured after the fall and reported the incident independently to a police station. If you witness the robbery in the Wittenhausweg area or have any information about the identity of the fleeing suspect, contact the Ratingen police at 02102 / 9981 6210.
