Brutal attack on Kyritzer petrol station: police are looking for witnesses!

A serious robbery shaked the city of Kyritz on Thursday evening. Around 9:40 p.m., a hooded perpetrator entered the Star petrol station on the street of the youth and brutally performed against the employee there. According to TAG24 , the employee was threatened with a pistol-like object, while the perpetrator asserted his claim for the cash content.

The incident took a violent turn when the masked man knocked down the employee and then used irritable gas. Despite the physical attacks and injuries that the employee suffered, the perpetrator was still able to flee without waiting for the police. The employee was treated by the emergency services based on his injuries, such as maz-online reported.

description and police are looking for witnesses

The perpetrator is described as 1.70 to 1.80 meters tall and slim. His clothes were dark and he was masked, which makes identification difficult. The police therefore ask the population for clues. Anyone who has seen something suspicious or can give information about the identity of the perpetrator should report on 03391-354-0 or via the Brandenburg police. Criminal officers are already investigating because the circumstances of the raid are extremely worrying.

This type of offense, especially the robberies on petrol stations, is a questionable trend, as current statistics show. According to the data of Statista , over 38,000 predatory offenses were registered in Germany in 2022. Of these, 628 raids on petrol stations - an indication that the security situation is alarming in certain areas of crime.

The consequences of crime in the region

in North Rhine-Westphalia, where Kyritz is also located, crime is not only limited to robberies. The number of burglaries and thefts has also risen since 2022, which fueled a feeling of uncertainty in the communities. The police point out that there is a high information rate of almost 60% in predatory offenses, but the question remains open how the prevention measures can be further improved.

The dramatic events in Kyritz show that even in calm cities, increased attention to safety and vigilance is necessary to protect citizens. Investigations and public relations play a crucial role in preventing such crimes and taking perpetrators into account.

The situation is clear: the citizens are required to be attentive and pass on any information that could contribute to clarifying the raid.
