Armed burglar steals extensive haul of cigarettes from a gas station, totaling 3,500 packs.

In the early hours of this morning, a gas station on Vennhauser Alley was the scene of a break-in. Two men, aged 32 and 34, were identified as the suspects.

The incident occurred around 1 a.m., and the suspects triggered an alarm while inside the gas station. They made off with approximately 3,500 cigarette packs and baked goods before fleeing the scene.

During their escape, the suspects discarded two large trash bags containing the stolen goods towards the Vennhausen sports field. The police units arrived quickly at the scene and searched the area, eventually apprehending the suspects on Kamper Weg.

The younger suspect, aged 32, was remanded in custody, while the older suspect, aged 34, was released due to lack of grounds for detention. The younger suspect was brought before a judge, and the older suspect was subsequently released.

It is worth noting that the two suspects are Polish nationals. However, there are no publicly available verified details about Polish nationals involved in a gas station kidnapping on Vennhauser Allee and later arrested on Kamper Weg.

The stolen goods were found in the two large trash bags that were discarded towards the Vennhausen sports field. The police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the break-in and the identity of any potential accomplices.

The public is advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The police are grateful for the support of the community in helping to maintain a safe and secure environment.
