Police use phantom images to search for perpetrators in Teltow!

The criminal police in Potsdam are currently looking for two suspects who committed a sexual assault on a 16-year-old in April 2025. As cityreport.pnr24-online.de reports, the incident happened on April 13th on Whitehorse Street in Teltow when the girl was walking. The two perpetrators chased the teenager and asked her to stop, which she ignored. When she did not respond to the request, one of the men grabbed her and touched her private parts of her body while the other filmed the attack.

The assault was not reported until a week later, when the victim decided to inform the police. The perpetrators pushed the girl to the ground before fleeing towards Teltow S-Bahn station. The police then created phantom images of the suspects, which have now been published by court order in order to obtain information from the public. The description of the two perpetrators is precise and could help identify them quickly.

Details about the suspects

The first phantom images show an 18 to 20 year old man who is around 180 cm tall, has a slim, broad-shouldered physique and has dark hair parted in the middle. His mustache and goatee as well as his brown eyes are also striking. He was dressed in black Adidas pants, black shoes and a black jacket and a silver-colored chain. Witnesses also mentioned that he was filming with an iPhone.

The second suspect is also between 18 and 20 years old, around 180 cm tall and has a slim build. He has brown eyes with thick eyebrows and a birthmark on one cheek. His clothing included a Louis Vuitton cap and also black clothing. Both men spoke local German.

Call for help

The Potsdam police station is asking the public for information about the identity and whereabouts of the two suspects. Anyone who has information can report it by calling 0331 5508 0 or using an internet tip form, like this maz-online.de reported.
