Brutal attack in Kassel: 73-year-olds tied up in their own apartment!

Last Saturday evening, January 14, 2025, a 73-year-old man was victim of a brutal robbery in his apartment in Kassel-Wolfsang. The crime occurred around 10:00 p.m. when two unknown men knocked on the seniors' door and violently crowded him into his own four walls. The perpetrators, the identity of which is still unclear, took action with extreme violence.

After they had entered the apartment, they hit the victim with a metal truck and captivated it with cable ties. In this helpless location, the attackers searched the 73-year-old's apartment for valuables. They threatened him with a black firearm to get the key to a safe. Cash was stolen in an unknown amount before the perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. This is the second brutal attack of this kind in Kassel in a short time, which further increases the concern for security in the region.

Details about the perpetrators

The perpetrators were described as follows: Both were about 1.80 meters tall, dark dressed and wore masks with eye openings and black gloves. Witnesses also reported that the two men spoke to an Eastern European accent. This gives the investigators a hint in order to learn more about the background of the raid and the identity of the perpetrators. The Kassel criminal police have started the investigation and asks the population for clues. Information can be reported on 0561/9100.

The brutal raids, especially those on the jeweler who had already taken place, have a bad light on the security situation in the city. A 73-year-old man who was attacked in his own home is an alarming sign. The possibility that such incidents are repeated not only those affected, but also the neighbors and the entire community.

For further information and for inspection in security statistics, we refer to the reports of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which can be found in the publication on police crime statistics. [BMI] offers detailed insights into developments and trends in crime in Germany.

The concern remains of further attacks, and the police work in this regard is closely observed by both the citizens and the media. It remains to be seen whether the investigation will quickly lead to clarification of the case.
