Shock in Cloppenburg: 18-year-old threatens passers-by with shoe pullers!

On Wednesday, June 4, 2025, there were dramatic incidents in Cloppenburg. Initially, an 18-year-old man from Gütersloh threatened a 20-year-old Cloppenburger with a metal shoe puller on a sidewalk behind a supermarket. Shortly afterwards, around 1:54 p.m., a 61-year-old man was also threatened, whereupon he alerted the police. When the officials intervened, the 18-year-old resisted, but could be brought to the ground without injuries. It turned out that the attacker was in a mental state of emergency and finally came to medical care.

In addition, cigarettes were stolen from an excited machine in Ermke from June 4 to June 4. The damage is currently unknown. In Lindenallee, unknown people tried to rob a textile goods business, but this failed due to an alarm. Another incident occurred at 11:15 a.m. when an unknown truck driver damaged a level crossing barrier and fled with an estimated damage of around 100,000 euros. The police ask for clues to the incidents.
