Pistol - Robbery - Grebenstein Supermarket - North Hesse Police

April 4, 2025 – Grebenstein (Kassel District):
By releasing a video and photos of the perpetrator from a surveillance camera, investigators from Kassel Criminal Investigation Department (KPD) 35 hope to obtain clues about a previously unknown man who robbed a supermarket on Bahnhofstrasse in Grebenstein on August 9, 2024. Unfortunately, previous investigations and the search for witnesses have not led to the identification of the perpetrator, which is why a judge has now ordered a public manhunt.
The armed robbery occurred on Friday evening around 10:30 p.m. As the detectives were able to determine from the video recording, the perpetrator entered the store shortly before closing time at around 9:45 p.m. and hid among the shelves until the crime was committed. When the last employee went into the cashier's office, the perpetrator followed her and, at gunpoint, demanded cash from her and her two colleagues. After the three women complied with the order, the robber fled outside with a jute bag containing the stolen cash and vouchers and presumably continued in the direction of the 'Stone Bridge', where his trail goes cold. The following description of him is available:
Male, 25 to 35 years old, 1.60 to 1.70 meters tall, slim, dark complexion, dark hair, dark brown eyes, dark beard, black peaked cap, had a dark hood partially on his head and a type of scarf pulled over his nose, wore a striking yellow multifunctional vest and black sneakers, otherwise dressed in dark clothing.
Witnesses who can provide investigators from K 35 with information about the perpetrator are asked to contact the North Hesse Police Headquarters at 0561-9100.
