Two suspects allegedly robbed a 74-year-old man of a four-figure sum of cash from his jacket pocket at knifepoint near Krückenweg in Dortmund-Barop on 29 January. Witnesses restrained one of the men until police arrived, while the second suspect initially fled.

After evaluating witness statements, officers identified and provisionally detained the second suspect, a 40-year-old man, in Dortmund on 18 February. A judge ordered pre-trial detention for both suspects following an application by prosecutors.
