Package messenger in Burglesum attacked: perpetrator with a knife on the run!

A new attack in Bremen causes unrest: on June 18, 2025, around 11:50 a.m., a 24-year package messenger in Greenlandstrasse in Burglesum was attacked. The deliverer was currently to unload heavy packages when two unknown perpetrators stepped on him and asked him to hand over a package that was supposedly intended for them. With a "No, I don't do that", the package messenger gave a clear answer, which dramatically escalated the Situation.

The perpetrator with the knife, which is said to be between 25 and 30 years old and about 185 cm tall, could not be rejected. He pushed back the package messenger as he held a knife in front of his chest. At that moment, the tense situation was interrupted by a sudden noise, which made it possible for the package messenger to escape. Fortunately, the young man was unharmed and immediately alerted the police.

police investigation and witness call

The criminal police have already started the investigation and is looking for witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators. While the first perpetrator acted risky, the second perpetrator, who was somewhat smaller, also remains unknown. Both men are of interest to the police, and the population is asked to report to the Bremen police service service under 0421 362-3888 if they have noticed something suspicious. The circumstances of this robbery throw a light on the security situation in the region and are a further indication of the challenges with which the police are faced with.

How the Presseportal documented, the current crime development in Germany is not easy to evaluate. While the police crime statistics for 2024 show a decline in the total number of crimes by 1.7 % to around 5.84 million, there is a growing concern about certain offenses, especially those that affect people's feeling of security. In urban areas such as Bremen, the likelihood of becoming a victim of a crime is significantly higher.

statistical insights into crime

according to statistics, as provided by Statista, thefts as well as offenses and falsification offenses are the most common in 2024. There was a registered increase to non -German suspects at 41.8 %. It is also interesting that younger suspects (under 21 years) decreased by 6 %. Despite a general decline in overall crime, there is still a persistent feeling of uncertainty that is reinforced by tragic incidents like this attack.

The incident is a further call for vigilance in the neighborhood and illustrates that the topics of public security and crime are concerned with all of us. The affected region should certainly continue to focus on this topic.
