Overview
- Around 4–4:30 a.m., a blue Opel Corsa drove through the Forum Duisburg entrance and was used to ram a jewelry store on Königstraße.
- The perpetrators fled with valuables within minutes, abandoning the Corsa at the scene.
- Police secured the vehicle, discovered stolen license plates, and Kriminalkommissariat 14 is examining forensic traces and seeking witnesses.
- About 90 minutes earlier, a different jeweller on the same street was attacked without success, and investigators are assessing a connection between the two cases.
- The store owner estimates losses near €1 million (about six kilograms of gold), a figure police have not verified; the city says bollards are kept lowered overnight, allowing vehicle access.
