Parking carefree? Crossbowstagings ensure chaos in Bonn!

In Bonn, four incidents have already occurred this year, where parked cars were shot at with a crossbow. The criminal police (Kripo) examine these incidents and checks whether they are also related to two similar actions from the past year, in which damage to vehicles were also registered. So far, a total of six cases are known that have happened in downtown Bonn and the west city. The police report that there are no injuries so far.

The results of the investigation show that four cars were damaged between January 1 and January 9, 2025. The crime scenes are in the immediate vicinity of each other, which indicates that the perpetrator may have been on foot or on a bike. Special features of the incidents are the aluminum bolts found, which were located in the body of the vehicles. The police have started the investigation and asks the public for clues.

The first shots took place at Quantiusstraße 1 between January 1st at 9 a.m. and January 9th at 9 a.m. Another car was attacked on Eendenicher Straße 129 on January 6th between 11:05 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. A third vehicle received a goal between January 6 and January 9 at 1 p.m. at Eendenicher Straße. The fourth case occurred between January 8 at 5 p.m. and January 9 at 8:15 a.m. The police assume that these acts are connected to each other.
