Three masked men attack a cell phone store in Altona – police are looking for witnesses!
In Hamburg-Altona there was a brutal robbery at a cell phone store on November 12, 2025. Three masked men stormed the store, pushed an employee into an adjoining room and threatened him with a gun. The perpetrators demanded valuables and were eventually able to steal several cell phones in a white cloth bag. They then made off with their prey and escaped in an unknown direction, while the employee, who luckily remained physically uninjured, suffered from the shock of what they had experienced.
The Hamburg police immediately launched a major manhunt. The officers were deployed with around 20 patrol cars and a police helicopter to catch the fleeing perpetrators. However, there had been no arrest as of early evening. The criminal police have taken over the investigation and are asking the public for information. Information about the value of the loot or the background to the crime is currently not available, but the police's determination to solve this incident remains undiminished.

The perpetrators were described as wearing dark clothing and wearing masks and light-colored cloth gloves. Such features could provide important clues for the investigation. Witnesses who were able to observe anything related to the incident are asked to come forward. Every little detail could help investigators solve the mystery.
