Robbery at a gas station in Altdöbern: perpetrators flee with cash!

On Monday evening, around 6:30 p.m., a duo entered the sales point, threatened the employee and stole cash. The two unknown suspects then fled the area, while immediate police searches in the area were unsuccessful.

These crimes often occur not only in Brandenburg, but also in other parts of Germany.
