Robbery at Star gas station in Kyritz: Police are looking for witnesses!

On October 18, 2025, an unpleasant topic will be discussed in Kyritz: the attack on the Star gas station, which occurred on December 18, 2024. In this incident, two hooded men, around 1.80 to 1.90 meters tall and slim, entered the gas station while only one employee was present. With a pistol in his hand, one of the perpetrators demanded cash and put the woman in an extremely threatening situation. After handing over the money, the two perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. The police have now published photos of the men and are asking the public for information. Maz online

However, there has been more than just this one incident in the region recently. On June 12, 2025, the gas station on Straße der Jugend was robbed. Here, an unknown perpetrator also earned the gas station's daily revenue, always under the banner of a pistol-like weapon. This attack resulted in a slightly injured employee who was attacked with gas, but luckily without any serious injuries. Brandenburg Police

Decrease in raids

Although the attack on the gas station in Kyritz and the gas station on Straße der Jugend made headlines, the police crime statistics for 2024 give reason for hope. The statistics show a pleasing decline in robberies at gas stations. Only 513 robberies were registered in 2024, which is the lowest level since reunification. Although this decline could be due to better protected cash register systems and falling cash sales, the “perceived crime” is often exceeded by the real crime rate. Nevertheless, there is a vigilant picture on the streets and gas stations in the Brandenburg region. FTG Bonn

The police are asking for the public's help in both cases. Witnesses who have information about the gas stations that were robbed are asked to call 03391 – 3540 or 03391 – 354-0. Important information can also be transmitted anonymously using the Brandenburg police information portal. Joint vigilance is required so that we can all feel safe in our homeland.
