Robbery in Dortmund: Perpetrator escapes after shots in the Stadtbahn!
On March 10, 2025, a short -term police operation occurred in Dortmund, which was triggered by an incorrect emergency call. At 8:05 p.m., a caller reported a robbery overtime using firearms at the Stadtgarten stop. It was reported that the perpetrator shot up and then fled the light rail towards Westerfilde. As a result, the police dispatched several patrol cars to the Stadtgarten and Kampstrasse stops to check the Situation and to eliminate any dangers.
The affected light rail was stopped after consultation with the DSW 21. The area around the Kampstrasse stop was cleared and locked up for safety. Despite intensive searches of the railway, however, there were no evidence of the supposed incident. The caller could no longer be found at the Stadtgarten stop and was also unavailable by telephone. The Dortmund police then filed a complaint for abuse of emergency calls because the false alarm of emergency numbers 110 or 112 is a criminal offense. In addition, it is checked whether the costs for the use can be invoiced to the cause.
robberies in the southern cemetery
The second attack hit a 61-year-old Dortmund woman who was choked and threatened with a firearm. She was robbed of cash from her backpack, but she remained unharmed on the outside. Both times the perpetrators fled to the western part of the cemetery. According to the police, the perpetrators were male and between 20 and 25 years old. A perpetrator was dressed in a dark hoodie. The group spoke broken German with an Eastern European accent. The police are still looking for witnesses and asks for information on 0231-132-7441.
crime statistics in Germany
These incidents are part of a worrying trend in crime in Germany. According to the police crime statistics (PKS), the crimes recorded rose by 5.5 % in 2023 compared to the previous year, which corresponds to an increase to a total of 5,940,667 cases. The clarification rate was 58.4 %, which is a slight increase in 1.1 percentage points. The increase in crimes is attributed to increased mobility after the COVID-19 pandemic, social and economic stress as well as high immigration rates.
In particular, violent crime has increased significantly. 214,099 cases were registered in 2023, the highest level since 2007. 34.4 % of the suspects were non -German citizens. It can be observed that thefts and crimes in particular rise rapidly in connection with drugs.
The combination of these developments and the current incidents in Dortmund raises questions and demands more action from both the police and society and a more intensive examination of the causes of crime.
