Minor held after alleged robbery involving a switchblade

A minor is alleged to have robbed another young person with an accomplice on Reitbahnstraße in Chemnitz city centre. Police said he held a switchblade in front of the victim and took clothing.

Investigators also attribute further robberies and an aggravated assault in the city since mid-November 2025 to the minor. After he had been wanted, he was arrested in the Sonnenberg district on 5 January. A judge executed a previously issued detention warrant the following day, and the minor is being held in a youth detention facility.
