Masked men threaten shop employee with knife during robbery in Herne
During a robbery at a clothing shop on Bahnhofstraße in Herne, two masked men allegedly demanded cash at about 9:30 p.m. on Friday, 30 October 2026. They displayed a knife, pepper spray and an object resembling a firearm. When a 47-year-old employee refused their demand, a struggle followed; he was slightly injured by pepper spray.
