By Christian Bart

The police are looking for two suspects from a trio of robbers after robberies on October 12, 2021 in Potsdam.

The actions: The group of perpetrators is said to have asked another group of three to stop. The perpetrator, wearing white outerwear, then asked one of the victims to hand over his wallet. He is said to have suddenly hit him when he did not hand over the money.

The second perpetrator in the red sweater is said to have kicked the victim and one of his companions. The third suspect threatened the third victim at the same time. The three perpetrators fled without taking anything.

A short time later, the robbers apparently observed a person in front of Potsdam’s main train station who was withdrawing money from a bank there. The robbers followed him and first asked him for a cigarette, then demanded cash. The first suspect searched the victim and took the money. The other two suspects watched the crime from close up. The trio then fled through the main entrance to the station passages.

One of the three suspects is already known to the police by name. By publishing video recordings, the police are now hoping for information about the other two perpetrators. According to the police, the men could have a connection to Templin, Neuruppin and Berlin.
