Thieves on the A13: Who recognizes the perpetrators in Lübbenau? Looking for clues!
On January 31, 2025, there was a brazen robbery of a truck driver on the A13 motorway near Lübbenau. The incident occurred at the “Ruhlander Heide” rest area, where the two perpetrators used a sophisticated diversionary maneuver. While one of the men distracted the victim with conversation, the other grabbed cash from the truck. They did this quite blatantly and cold-bloodedly because they didn't waste any time.
A silver BMW served as the perpetrators' getaway vehicle. It is believed that there was a third person in the car, which makes the situation all the more mysterious. Police then created phantom images of the two suspects to ask the public for help. Anyone who has seen something or has knowledge of the perpetrators should immediately contact the Oberspreewald-Lausitz police station or provide information online via the website Brandenburg State Police transmit.
Call for help
The investigators hope to quickly track down the perpetrators using the phantom images and tips from the public. “We rely on eyewitnesses,” said a police spokesman. “Every hint, no matter how small, can be crucial.” The crime has not only caused uncertainty in the region, but also shows how important it is to remain vigilant when refueling or resting in highly frequented places.
The transport sector in particular is affected by such incidents, and not too often. Truck Walter is an example of the companies that travel the streets every day and are at increased risk of theft and robberies. Driver safety is therefore a top priority and the industry is doing everything it can to take appropriate measures.
According to observations, it is worth reporting suspicious people or vehicles. An anonymous tip can be enough to put the police on the right track. Whether refueling, taking a break or delivering, always keep in mind: It's better to be safe than sorry!
The incidents surrounding rest stops are not new, but they often fade into the background if they are not picked up by the media. It is therefore very important that education and raising public awareness go hand in hand. The police will continue to work to prevent such incidents and to guarantee a safe working environment for the affected vehicle drivers.
