Three victims, two perpetrators, a knife: In the otherwise tranquil spa town of Bad Sasendorf, children have robbed other children. The police are sure that they will soon have the perpetrators.
Bad Sassendorf – The crime scene is very close to the thermal baths: According to the police report, on early Saturday evening at around 5:50 p.m., three children were threatened with a knife by two other children, presumably by other children, on Gartenstrasse near the thermal baths. The perpetrators stole one euro.
Police spokesman Marco Baffa-Scinelli: “The three 12-year-olds from Bad Sassendorf and Welver were walking along Gartenstrasse. At the thermal baths, two boys, presumably the same age, jumped out of the bushes and demanded money from the three of them at knifepoint.” The loot with which the two junior gangsters fled: one euro.
Children threaten children with knives: Victims knew the name of their accomplice
Only one of the two perpetrators had threatened with the knife, the police reported. “The accomplice, who had not threatened with the knife, was known to the victims and could at least be identified by name and age. The second, however, the main perpetrator with the knife, could only be described.”
The three victims went straight home after the attack and told their parents everything. Baffa-Scinelli: “They then called the police, but they were unable to find the perpetrators in the area.”
Children threaten children with knives: Police want to identify perpetrators quickly
Due to the good description and the name, the police assume that they will soon be able to identify the perpetrators. However, since they are probably not of criminal age, they will not face any criminal consequences, at least, explains the police spokesperson.
In Geseke, also in the Soest district, a 13-year-old critically injured a 14-year-old with a knife.
