Unveiling the Details of the Reported Larceny Scandal
On July 7, 2025, a 64-year-old man was robbed at the U-Bahn station Deutz/Messe in Cologne. The incident occurred on a Line 9 train around midnight, after the victim celebrated the Christopher Street Day (CSD) at Neumarkt.
According to the Cologne Police, the victim was engaged in conversation with two young men on the train. As they exited the train at Deutz/Messe station, one of the suspects demanded that the 64-year-old show his wallet under false pretenses. In the ensuing altercation, the other suspect snatched the victim's wallet while pushing him, causing the victim to fall and sustain minor injuries.
