Case No. 1578 A public appeal for information regarding a man strongly suspected of robbing a mobile phone shop on Hermannstraße in Berlin-Neukölln on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, has led to his identification. The suspect is a 25-year-old who is currently in custody on drug-related charges. Investigations are ongoing.
Initial Report No. 1573 (July 29, 2024): Armed Robbery at Phone Shop – Do You Recognize This Man? Berlin police have released surveillance images and are asking for the public's help in identifying a suspect wanted in connection with an armed robbery. On Tuesday, June 27, 2023, at 1:47 p.m., the man entered a mobile phone shop at Hermannstraße 54 in Neukölln. He approached the sales counter, brandished a pistol, and demanded in English that the shop owner hand over all her money. When she called for help, the assailant fled the store. Outside, he allegedly struck a female bystander—who had attempted to stop him—in the face. Investigators believe he had visited the shop shortly before the robbery to inquire about money transfer services.
