Petrol station robbery in Hildesheim: Police are urgently looking for witnesses!
On the evening of September 2nd, 2025, a serious attack occurred at a gas station on Berliner Straße in Hildesheim. At around 9:45 p.m., a masked man entered the salesroom, demanded cash under the threat of violence and had the contents of the cash register handed to him before disappearing into the darkness. The police in Hildesheim are now looking for witnesses who may have information in connection with this incident. An older man was in the sales room at the time of the robbery and could provide valuable information. The police ask you to call 05121/939-115.
The attack itself happened quickly: the perpetrator was male, around 180 cm tall, of slim build and was wearing a striking black sweater decorated with white lettering and red applications. He also had dark pants and dark shoes on. Despite the perpetrator's masked appearance, police hope there are outside witnesses who may have spotted him before or after the attack.
Call for witnesses and importance of information
Given the frequency of gas station robberies, as documented in a Federal Bureau of Investigation investigation in recent years, this incident is particularly alarming. According to Statista, there were numerous robberies at gas stations in Germany alone between 2014 and 2024, meaning the issue of security in this area remains explosive. Experts emphasize the need to report such incidents immediately and take active measures to improve safety.
The people of Hildesheim are called upon to be attentive. Every clue can be crucial. Anyone who saw anything unusual around the time of the attack or has information that could lead to the arrest of the perpetrator is asked to come forward.
