Armed robbery on money transporters in Charlottenburg: Perpetrators flee!

Kurfürstendamm, 10625 Berlin, Deutschland - This morning an armed robbery occurred on a money transporter in Charlottenburg, Berlin. According to the Berlin General Prosecutor's Office, the crime happened at around 7:40 a.m. in front of the main entrance of a bank branch on Kurfürstendamm. A group of several masked perpetrators carried out the raid, with at least one suspect shot with a sharp firearm and damaged the bank's front door.

The situation escalated when a perpetrator used pepper spray against one of the wallets, which was consequently slightly injured. Fortunately, other people remained unharmed, despite the shots that were handed over from the escape vehicle. Civilian emergency services quickly noticed the action and intervened quickly, which led to the persecution of the perpetrators.

attack and escape of the perpetrators

The perpetrators fled with prey in a dark, large SUV. During the escape, a suspect fired from the driver's window onto the police vehicle, which followed them. The police were forced to break off the persecution on Brandenburgische Strasse Ravensberger Straße when the escape car driver rammed a parked construction site vehicle in Blissestrasse.

The Berlin police have already mobilized a large contingent of around 220 forces, including hundreds, the management 2 (West), forensic technology and the State Criminal Police Office (LKA). The investigation into suspected attempted robbery is carried out under the direction of the Berlin public prosecutor's office by the Commissioner for qualified property crime.

public request for help

The police ask the population for help: witnesses who could take information or video or photo recordings of the crime are asked to provide them with the Berlin police point of view. The search for the fleeting perpetrators and the escape vehicle continues intensively.

A ray of hope in this worrying situation is the fact that police crime statistics (PKS) continuously observe and analyze the development of crime in Berlin. This data not only provides findings on various types of crime and suspects, but also serve to make decisions compared to the fight against crime and police planning. However, it should be noted that the meaningfulness of the statistics is restricted, since not all the police committed are known to the police, which influences the number of unreported cases and depends on various factors, such as the display of the population.

The efficient cooperation between the police and the citizens is essential to ensure security in the city and prevent such incidents in the future. The investigation in this case is still at the very beginning, but the commitment of the police and the community is clearly recognizable.
