In the heart of Duisburg, an armed robbery took place last week. The Criminal Investigation Department 13 (Kriminalkommissariat 13) has launched an investigation into the incident.

Two suspects, estimated to be around 16 years old, were the perpetrators of the crime. They were described as having dark hair and wearing black clothing, with one of them also donning a black mask. One of the suspects was also seen carrying a backpack.

The robbers made their way into the store, threatening an employee with a firearm. They demanded money from the cashier, causing the 52-year-old employee to suffer a shock. Fortunately, the cashier was unharmed in the incident.
