Four Held in Armed Pullach Robbery While Three Suspects in Kassel Case Are Freed

Police say seized vehicles, a blank‑firing pistol and clothing seized in searches have strengthened evidence for continued prosecutions.

Overview

  • The Pullach robbery resulted in four suspects aged 20–22 being taken into custody and an investigative judge ordering pretrial detention on suspicion of serious robbery and extortion.
  • The Pullach incident, which occurred on Sept. 9, involved four men who threatened a 31‑year‑old Jordanian with a firearm and stole cash and his mobile phone before the victim briefly escaped to call police.
  • Investigators recovered both getaway vehicles used in the Pullach case and found a Schreckschusspistole (blank‑firing pistol) in one car, evidence officials say links the suspects to the scene.
  • In Kassel, three 21‑year‑old men were arrested after searches produced clothing and part of the stolen property and one suspect gave a comprehensive confession, but prosecutors released them because no detention grounds were found.
  • Both investigations remain active and highlight two tactics used by offenders: an armed street robbery near Burg Schwaneck and an online impersonation that lured a 72‑year‑old into a violent robbery on Sept. 18, underscoring risks for people who meet contacts arranged via the internet.
