Criminal Catch: Dornberg's Thorny Hedge Holds Off Escaped Burglars
In the early hours of Saturday, August 30, 2025, a 21-year-old known to the police from Bielefeld allegedly harassed an 18-year-old in a nightclub on Duisburger StraΓe. The incident took a turn for the worse when the suspect, a Syrian citizen, reportedly stole the victim's wallet and cash.
The police were promptly informed about the robbery, and the suspect fled the nightclub. In the ensuing chase, the suspect ran into a nearby forest and was later apprehended by the authorities.
Following the arrest, the suspect was found lying in a thorny blackberry bush, complaining of pain. The suspect was then taken into custody. On Sunday, the suspect was presented to the Bielefeld District Court.
The suspect is also under investigation for attempting to sell cannabis to the 18-year-old, an offer which was declined. The location of the new discovery related to this drug case was not specified.
The location of the apprehension, however, was confirmed to be a nearby forest. The suspect's current location remains in custody.
