Young Man Beaten and Robbed - Teen violently robbed by seven masked attackers in Plochingen
An 18-year-old was violently attacked and robbed by seven masked assailants in Plochingen on Friday, 20 March 2026. The victim had arranged to meet an unknown person through social media to buy an e-cigarette when the assault took place. Police are now appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The incident unfolded in the evening when the teenager arrived at the agreed location. Instead of a seller, he was confronted by a group of seven masked attackers. They struck him repeatedly in the face, knocked him to the ground, and continued kicking him.
The assailants then stole cash and a bottle of perfume before fleeing the scene. Despite several days passing since the attack, Plochingen police have yet to identify any suspects or report progress in the investigation.
The case has now been transferred to the Polizeirevier Esslingen. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the witness hotline at 0711/3990-330.
The victim remains recovering from his injuries while police continue their search for leads. No arrests have been made, and the stolen items have not been recovered. The investigation remains ongoing, with officers relying on public assistance to track down those responsible.
