Prefabrication series in Saarbrücken: young people threatened and injured!

In Saarbrücken, two young people were injured in several robberies on January 6, 2025. The incidents occurred on Saturday between 4:30 p.m. and 6:10 p.m. in the city center and were related to a series of predatory offenses that have been committed since Christmas Day 1. In two of the raids, the attempt remained, but those affected suffered minor injuries.

The perpetrators threatened the young people during the raids. In a specific case, two 15-year-olds were persecuted, pressed against a wall and threatened with a knife. The perpetrators forced the victims to hand over cell phones and cash. The investigators assume that a youth gang will be behind these acts. This was described as several young people with Arabic appearance.

investigative group set up

In order to counter the incidents, the police founded the “Investigation Group Straße”. This measure has taken place due to the accumulation of raids in the past few days. So far there has been no further findings or information on crime-tactical measures, such as the Rheinpfalz reported.

In addition, the police came about the perpetrators: these were described between the ages of around 15 to 16 and had the southern appearance. One of the perpetrators wore a gray vest with a hood, a black baseball cap and a black belly pocket, while another was seen in a striking long coat from the Under Armor and Black Nike shoes with reflectors. The group is suspected of being involved in further robberies at the end of last year, such as BlueLichtreport Saarland reported.
