Attack on men in Postbauer-Heng: Police with a large contingent on site

On Wednesday evening, October 8, 2025, three men in Postbauer-Heng, in the East industrial area, were the target of a brutal attack. The incident occurred around 9:28 p.m. when the attackers attacked the men from a car and demanded valuables. The three men were injured and had to be taken to hospital immediately. The police were on site with a large contingent, including special forces and even a police helicopter, to launch the search for the perpetrators. They were initially able to escape in the dark and fled in an unknown, dark car, but the police gave the all-clear: There is currently no danger to the population.

The situation was tense and the police mobilized all available forces. The support command (USK) was also alerted and appeared in bulletproof chain mail to support the investigation. According to a statement from the police, the Regensburg Criminal Investigation Department will take over the investigation and will already recognize the first tips on securing evidence on site. More details will be released in the near future, officials said. These circumstances show that the police react quickly and are prepared to quickly resolve such incidents.

Growing crime in Germany

The increasing numbers of crime in Germany are alarming. Statistics show that over 5.63 million crimes were reported in 2022, including numerous robbery and theft crimes. The increase in thefts, which occurred for the first time since 2015, is particularly alarming. There were around 1.78 million police-recorded thefts in 2022, representing a worrying trend. Looking back over the last few years, it can be seen that robberies in particular, including handbag snatches and gas station robberies, have increased. However, the clearance rate for robbery crimes is almost 60% higher than for residential burglaries, which gives citizens a certain degree of security.

The diverse forms of crime, including robbery, highlight the need for effective policing and preventive measures. The current events in Postbauer-Heng are a clear indication that there are situations everywhere that require quick action. As police continue to investigate the matter, it is important that citizens remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings.

In view of these incidents and the general crime situation in Germany, regular security measures and information for the population are of great importance. At a time when muggings and robberies are on the rise, it is even more important that everyone pulls together to ensure safety in communities.
