A woman (51) was seriously injured in a brutal necklace robbery in June in a Späti on Sonnenallee in Berlin-Neukölln. Now the police were able to catch the perpetrator!
The man (36) is said to have torn a woman’s necklace from her neck while shopping late on June 6th at the corner of Sonnenallee and Braunschweiger Straße.
He fled with the chain into a car parked in front of the store. The 51-year-old then ran after the perpetrator and leaned into the car through the open window on the passenger side.
When the man drove off suddenly, the woman’s upper body fell into the vehicle. She was dragged several meters until her legs, which were sticking out of the open car window, crashed into a pickup truck on the side of the road. The 51-year-old was thrown out of the car and fell onto the street. She suffered several broken bones.
The police tracked down the perpetrator through fuel fraud
The 36-year-old man is said to have used the getaway vehicle wanted by the Berlin police in a fuel fraud – that’s how the investigators tracked down the robber!
An arrest warrant has now been issued against the man for attempted murder and grievous bodily harm. The murder commission and the Berlin public prosecutor’s office are investigating the case.
