Overview
- The Kriminalpolizei Bamberg is investigating a robbery in a Lorenz-Krapp-Straße parking garage where a 16-year-old was allegedly choked unconscious by a 14-year-old and assaulted by another who stole his waist bag.
- Prosecutors say the victim’s father later detained two youths in an auto repair shop for over an hour, assaulted them, and threatened them with a meat skewer to force information.
- That workshop incident reportedly ended when an employee intervened, and police were not informed at the time.
- On the same Saturday evening, the father allegedly pointed a blank-firing gun at a group he believed was linked to the attack; no shots were fired and witnesses called police.
- A warrant for hostage-taking was issued against the father, he was briefly detained, and the warrant was set aside under conditions as investigators secure evidence and analyze video recordings.
