Father robbed at knifepoint in Altena

An unknown man allegedly robbed a father with a knife in Altena on 13 February. Shortly after 7:30 a.m., the 50-year-old had stopped on Bergfelder Weg near a primary school and was getting out of his vehicle with his child.

The man first asked him to exchange money. When the father took banknotes from his wallet, the suspect allegedly drew a knife, threatened him in front of the child and snatched the notes. The suspect fled uphill towards An den Kiefern and the cemetery. A local search was unsuccessful; police secured evidence and are seeking witnesses.
