Scandalous attack in Bremen's old town: trio robs couple!
There was a shocking moment for a couple in Bremen's old town on October 17, 2025, when they were attacked near the ramparts at around 6:05 p.m. An unknown perpetrator grabbed the 56-year-old woman by the arm while her 55-year-old husband rushed to help and was then attacked with pepper spray. The robbers then stole valuable watches, a gold bracelet and the couple's wedding rings. The perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. Fortunately, the couple was not seriously injured, but had to be treated as a precaution, as [Bild] reports.
The description of the attackers provides information about their possible identity. Accordingly, they were between 1.70 and 1.80 meters tall, around 20 to 25 years old, with short black hair and a slim build. Two of the perpetrators wore black leather jackets, while one wore a denim jacket with a fur collar. The police are asking for information about the incident, which can be reported to the permanent criminal service on 0421 362-3888.
Another attack in Bremen-Neustadt
In view of the increasing number of robberies in Bremen, the crime statistics are worrying. The decline in overall crime in Germany by 1.7% in 2024 - partly due to the partial legalization of cannabis - cannot ignore the growing fears of the population. The likelihood of becoming a victim of crime is particularly higher in city states like Bremen, as current data from [Statista] shows. The clearance rate in Bremen is also worrying and shows that not all crimes are solved. Of the approximately 1.33 million victims registered by the police in 2024, thefts were one of the most common crimes.
These incidents in the heart of Bremen are a wake-up call for all citizens to increase their vigilance and immediately report suspicious activity to the police. Mayors and the police recommend shopping and other important businesses in busy places to protect yourself.
