Attempted knife robbery at petrol station in Ahlen
Two suspects carried out an attempted robbery at a petrol station on Hammer Straße in Ahlen on 16 August. At about 21:08, a masked man entered the sales area and demanded money from a 21-year-old employee. He held a knife in her direction while a second suspect waited outside the entrance.
A 22-year-old customer shouted at the man while holding a mop. The suspect then left the petrol station without any proceeds, and both men fled into a neighbouring residential area. An immediate search was unsuccessful.
