Three seniors robbed at knifepoint in Essen
An unidentified man allegedly threatened three seniors with a knife in Essen's Holsterhausen district within less than three hours on 14 June. At about 06:00, he took a bag from a 75-year-old pedestrian in Gemarkenstraße. At 08:30, he demanded money from a 93-year-old woman in Barthel-Bruyn-Straße but fled without proceeds. Around 15 minutes later, he threatened a 71-year-old man in Feuerbachstraße and took a small amount of money from his wallet. The suspect fled when passers-by approached. Police are seeking witnesses.
