The stranger shoots on late buyers in Prenzlauer Berg: Investigations are running!

last night there was an armed incident in Prenzlauer Berg, which luckily remained without injuries. According to berlin.de , a stranger shot about a late purchase in Greifswalder Strasse shortly before midnight. The aim of the attack was the 24-year-old owner of the shop. The shots took place through the open entrance door, but the perpetrator failed to meet the owner.

In addition to the shots on the shop, there were several further shot attempts, which were also unsuccessful. Two men, a woman and a teenager who was in late buy at the time of the crime were unharmed. The investigators found a projectile in the ceiling of the business, which indicates the seriousness of the incident. Before the gunfight, the perpetrator initially bought drinks in late purchase and exchanged later before he started his attacks and then fled towards Danziger Strasse.

Investigations by the criminal police

The investigation into the incident was taken over by the Criminal Police of Directorate 1 (North). The aim of the investigation is to educate the background of the attack and to identify the suspect.

In another incident in Berlin-Mitte, which was already on December 18, 2024, a 55-year-old man shot with an arrow and arrow on a passerby without injuring him. This case is currently the focus of the public prosecutor, who strives for permanent accommodation of the accused in a psychiatric hospital. The accused confessed and regretted the crime. As a motive, he stated that he wanted to attract attention while he was in acute psychosis. This is reported by the Berliner Zeitung

These two incidents throw a light on the current developments of crime in the capital. The police crime statistics (PKS) offers revealing data about the various types of tort, suspects and the geographical distribution of criminal offenses in Berlin. As the berlin.de emphasizes, this data serve to analyze and combat crime. Both the type and number of crimes recorded are recorded and characteristics of the perpetrators, while important information about politically motivated crime is treated separately.

The number of unreported cases can be high, as not all the police committed are known to the police. The ultimate effectiveness of the police often depends on the display of the population and the intensity of control.
