downtown robbery - adolescent snatches gold necklace from victim - apprehension

On a warm summer evening on Thursday, July 25, 2024, an incident unfolded on Immermannstraße that would lead to a dramatic turn of events. At exactly 19:50, a 19-year-old Algerian, under the influence of intoxicants, approached a 35-year-old man from behind outside a customer centre.

The suspect, who has only been in the Federal Republic for a few weeks, snatched a gold chain from the victim's neck, causing a brief physical altercation. The victim, however, did not give up easily. He pursued one of the two men who ran away after the incident, the chase ending at Konrad-Adenauer-Platz/Friedrichstraße.

A witness summoned a patrol car, which arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect. Blood samples were taken from the suspect at the police station. It was discovered that the suspect had a history of similar offenses.

Unfortunately, the alleged accomplice managed to escape during the incident, and no further details about the victim were provided. The suspect was provisionally arrested, with the investigation continuing to determine the full extent of their involvement in the incident.

It is important to note that the reports do not identify a specific allegedly drunk main perpetrator who committed various assaults in recent weeks. The available reports mention several separate incidents involving intoxicated individuals, but no single named individual matching all these criteria is provided.
