In-Depth Analysis
Pharmacy Robbery in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid (NRW)
On November 23, 2023, a pharmacy in Neunkirchen-Seelscheid became the scene of a violent robbery. A man armed with a large knife entered the pharmacy, threatening two female employees. One managed to lock herself in a restroom, while the other was forced to the cash register. After a brief struggle when the employee initially refused to open the till, the robber took €156 and fled. The employees were physically unharmed but deeply shocked. Police hope the broadcast, including a composite sketch, will generate new leads.
Gas Station Robbery in Habichtswald-Ehlen (Hesse)
A week before Christmas 2023 (December 16th), two young men targeted a gas station in Habichtswald-Ehlen, near Kassel. Surveillance footage tracked them taking the Line 110 bus from Kassel towards Wolfshagen around 7:45 PM, getting off in Ehlen at 8:15 PM. Despite the time elapsed since the pandemic, both wore masks. One suspect wore a highly distinctive dark hoodie with "ROCKY BALBOA" and "THE ITALIAN STALLION" printed on the back. Around 8:45 PM, they stormed the gas station armed with a pistol, demanding cash. They fled with approximately €600. Police are asking:
•
Who saw these individuals on the bus or in Ehlen between 8:15 PM and 8:45 PM?
•
Where might they have stashed their bags seen on the bus?
•
Who saw them fleeing after 8:45 PM?
A reward of €4,000 is offered for crucial information. Contact Kripo Kassel at +49 561 / 910 44 44.
Göttingen Murder Fugitive (Since 2011)
The show also revisited the tragic case of 13-year-old Souzan, murdered in Göttingen on December 5, 2011. Her father, Ali Askar Hasso Barakat (now 48, alias Sallah Ali Mischko), is the prime suspect. He allegedly shot his daughter on the street in front of her mother and a youth welfare worker after she rebelled against his views and sought help from the authorities. Barakat, originally from Iraq, is believed to have fled there shortly after the crime. Investigators now suspect he might have returned to Germany or another European country due to the situation in Iraq. His wife and other children also disappeared six months after the murder, possibly joining him abroad with help from relatives. A reward of €10,000 is offered. Contact the Polizeidirektion Göttingen at +49 800 / 192 01 92.
