Overview
- At about 4:00 a.m. Monday, a vehicle reversed into a jeweler’s storefront on Oststraße in Ahlen, enabling two thieves to seize jewelry and flee within seconds.
- The shop’s fogging system quickly filled the salesroom and a loud alarm sounded, but the burglars escaped before officers arrived.
- Investigators report two male suspects; the driver wore a black hoodie with dark pants and shoes, and the passenger in a white hoodie is about 1.80 meters tall with a slim build.
- Police believe a dark Mazda SUV was used in the break-in and Kriminalpolizei secured traces at the scene as the investigation continues.
- Authorities ask for information via 02382/965-0 or poststelle.warendorf@polizei.nrw.de.
