24-year-old arrested: Robbery attacks shake Karlsruhe!
In Ettlingen, police arrested a 24-year-old on Thursday who is considered a suspect in several robbery crimes. The Karlsruhe public prosecutor's office says that in addition to the current arrest, the man is in the investigators' sights in connection with at least four other crimes. These incidents took place in the last five weeks and include three robbery offenses and one incident of criminal damage. At the request of the public prosecutor, the judge issued an arrest warrant, which led to the ordering of pre-trial detention.
The last reported crime occurred on Thursday at 5:30 p.m. in a supermarket on Ahornweg. The suspect threatened a 16-year-old and tore a banknote out of his hand. This incident took a dramatic turn when the victim's 18-year-old brother intervened and tried to defend his brother. The perpetrator then hit him in the face with his fist, causing the 18-year-old to suffer injuries. Police were able to temporarily arrest the suspect at the scene. During the arrest, the man exhibited unusual psychological behavior, which further worried the officers.
Further investigation
The public prosecutor's office and the police carried out intensive investigations after the suspect had already hit the headlines. A robbery was reported in a bakery on Friday, October 19th. Police issued a call for witnesses in connection with this incident on October 20th. The connection between these acts and the current arrest shows that the 24-year-old was involved in a number of crimes and has affected the sense of security in the neighborhood.
The police action was deemed necessary to prevent further potential crimes. So far there is no evidence that the suspect worked with accomplices. The investigation is ongoing and officers are asking for the public's help to get a clear picture of what happened.
In summary, this incident shows that the regional police in Ettlingen and Karlsruhe are fulfilling their responsibility to protect citizens and maintain law and order. In times like these, it is more important than ever for the community to stand together and remain vigilant.
