Overview
- Early Friday, an unknown assailant or assailants fired at a watch shop on the corner of Apostelnstraße and Große Brinkgasse and police found a bullet hole in the store façade.
- Officers cordoned the scene and launched an ongoing search for one or more suspects while forensic investigators and a police dog worked to collect evidence.
- Investigators are examining whether the incident is linked to a similar shooting on Breite Straße a week earlier that left two men arrested and a third person still wanted.
- Authorities have not identified a motive and have not confirmed any connection between the two attacks, and the investigation remains active and developing.
- The repeat targeting of high-end watch retailers has raised public concern in the city centre and could lead to increased police patrols and security measures for luxury shops as detectives pursue leads.
