Shots in Stuhr: Police are looking for witnesses for attempted murder!

In a worrying episode of violent crime in Bremen, shots were fired on two men at the beginning of April, which the police and residents made alert alert. The shots that fell in Woltmershausen on Monday night resulted in serious injuries for the two men who were hit on their legs. It is worrying that the unknown perpetrators fled with a vehicle with a Bremen license plate, which made the investigation difficult, since the perpetrators have so far lacked any trace. The perpetrators moved in a dark station wagon and had several people in the car with them, which further increases the complexity of the case. Buten and Binnen reports that the police blocked a section of Delmenhorster Straße for around an hour to reconstruct the crime. The public prosecutor's office classified the events as an attempted murder and commissioned the "Container" murder commission to clarify.

Another terrible incident that only occurred shortly before is increasing the concerns about security in the region. On April 8, a 32-year-old man was fatally injured by several shots. Local residents heard shots and alerted the police on the said night. This found the man bleeding heavily on the street, and despite faster first aid by the officials and rescue workers, he died of his injuries. It is striking that the victim was known to the police and had an extensive history of criminal law. [NDR] (https://www.ndr.de/niederrichten/niedersachsen/oldenburg_Ostfriesland/bremen-32-jaehriger- Derere-schuesse-getetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetetet100.html) quotes investigators that check a possible connection between murder and the incident in Stuhr. In this case, the police convened a murder commission to find the possible perpetrator.

decline in crime in the overall picture

Although the local incidents arise, they consist of a larger context. According to the police crime statistics for 2024, crime has dropped by 1.7 % in Germany. This mainly results from cannabis partialization, which led to a significant decline in cannabis criminal offenses. However, the increase in violent crime, with a rate of 1.5 % to 217,277 cases, completes the picture. This has been the highest level since 2007. This shows that the situation overall is not as clear as one could assume. BKA emphasizes that an increase in the suspects and children as well as in non -German crime was.

Overall, it remains to be seen how the investigation into the current incidents will progress in Bremen. The police are still urgently looking for witnesses who can contribute to the incidents in Woltmershausen and Stuhr. The murder commission is accepting information on the phone number (0421) 362 38 88. It is to be hoped that these acts will be resolved quickly in order to return the population a bit more security.
