Overview
- A 29-year-old buyer met an alleged seller around 20:40 Friday on a supermarket parking lot on Emmentaler Straße in Reinickendorf for an agreed vehicle purchase.
- Two men approached claiming to be plainclothes police, ordered the occupants out, and took the five‑figure purchase sum plus an additional four‑figure amount found during a search.
- The robbers fled by car and drove over the foot of the buyer’s 38-year-old companion, who later declined medical treatment.
- After a chase to a dead end on Armbrustweg, a suspect displayed what police described as a firearm before fleeing on foot, and officers later arrested a 42-year-old near Emmentaler Straße.
- Police seized the getaway vehicle, a phone, a low three‑digit cash amount, and tactical items including a protective vest, radio, airsoft pistol, and handcuffs, and they are searching for another accomplice and the alleged seller while investigating charges of aggravated robbery with weapons, impersonation of officials, and dangerous bodily harm.
