Robbery blackmail in Kaiserslautern: Police are looking for witnesses
In Kaiserslautern, a serious situation has occurred for a 16-year-old adolescent who was victim of a predatory extortion twice. These threatening incidents occurred on Wednesday and Thursday, whereby the perpetrators were probably at a similar age.
The first attacks took place on Wednesday shortly before 1 p.m. In Jacobstrasse, the young woman and the strangers became aware of each other. The suspects, a boy and a girl, approached the 16-year-old after she had previously withdrawn money on Schneiderstrasse. In a nearby side street in the Altenhof area, the first extortion occurred. The attackers demanded money, and under the pressure of the threat, the victim was forced to react.
repeated threats
The incident on Wednesday was not the only one. The following Friday morning, the young people met the same perpetrators again in the area of the town hall. Here, too, the two urged a money withdrawal, which again put the concerned young person in a tense situation. After the confrontative encounter at the ATM on Schneiderstrasse, the suspects were able to escape with a three -digit amount. The targeted procedure of the perpetrators raises questions about the security of public places.
The suspects did not be stopped on both occasions and then fled towards Fackelstrasse. The police have started the investigation and are now looking for witnesses who may have noticed something from the incidents or can provide information about the perpetrators.

According to the investigators, the male suspect is a 16-year-old youth who is described about 1.85 meters tall, slim and with blond hair. It was striking that he spoke broken German, which could indicate a possible migration background. He wore light blue jeans and white Nike shoes at the time of the crime. The girl who accompanied him was about 15 years old, spoke fluently German and had a similar stature of about 1.75 meters.
