Pursuit ensues for two alleged suspects following a theft at a local grocery store
In the heart of Essen-Frohnhausen, on the 20th of January (year unspecified), a theft occurred at a supermarket located on Frohnhauser Straße. The incident, which was captured on the store's surveillance system, has led the Essen Criminal Investigation Department 34 to launch an investigation.
The footage reveals two unknown men involved in the theft. One of the suspects was captured on camera packing several items into a red sports bag. The other suspect, described as being of southern appearance, aged between 18-20 years old, approximately 1.70m tall, wearing dark sports clothing, and a wool hat, was also seen in the footage.
The first suspect was identified by the police using images from the video, and they are now actively searching for this individual. The second suspect, who also fled in the same direction as the first, was involved in a physical altercation with an employee. This suspect paid for only a small portion of the items and, upon being confronted, engaged in a verbal dispute before throwing the paid items at the employees and pushing them aside before fleeing on foot.
Another employee was waiting in the checkout area for the two suspects, while another attempted to prevent the second suspect from escaping but was pushed aside. The second suspect then fled towards Leipziger Straße.
Anyone with information about the second suspect is urged to contact the Essen police. The contact details are as follows: phone at 0201/829-0 or email at [email protected]. The images related to the investigation can be viewed at this link: https://polizei.nrw/fahndung/173276.
