Robbery on woman in Boizenburg - police are urgently looking for witnesses!

Boizenburg, Deutschland - Am Freitagabend, den 1. Juli 2025, wurde eine 33-jährige Frau in Boizenburg Opfer eines Raubüberfalls. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. on Theodor-Körner-Straße. The woman was on her way home when she was attacked by two young people on a black and a red mountain bike. The perpetrators tried to steal her handbag. But the woman fought vehemently, fell, and the bag tore. Ultimately, the attackers escaped cash and headphones from their wallet with several hundred euros. Fortunately, the victim was unharmed.

The two perpetrators are described as young people aged around 16 to 18 years. They had short blonde hair and a rather narrow stature. While a blue T-shirt with a black inscription was wearing, the other was dressed in a light T-shirt and both wore dark long pants. The police have started the investigation and are urgently looking for witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators or the incident. Anyone who has seen something is asked to contact the phone number 0385 5180-2224 or to visit a police station. NDR reports on this worrying development in the region.

Another caterpillar event causes unrest

This incident is not the only one in Boizenburg that leads to concern. A beverage market in the city was attacked on January 24, 2025. An unknown perpetrator entered the market and threatened the employees with a pistol -like object. When the employees refused to open the cash register, the perpetrator fled with stolen cigarettes and drinks. The police immediately initiated search measures, which were unsuccessful. Here, too, the population was asked to inform the incident. Image on that.

youth crime in focus

The increasing youth crime in Germany throws a great light on the problem. According to current statistics, youth crime in 2024 reached a maximum of around 13,800 cases. This is more than twice as high as in 2016. Young people between the ages of 14 and 17 are particularly affected, as well as adolescents between the ages of 18 and 20. The Federal Criminal Police Office sees psychological stress by corona measures and other risk factors that occur in young people seeking protection as possible.

Around 84 percent of the young perpetrators are male, which suggests deeply rooted behavior patterns and role models. In the discussion about combating this crime rate, harder sanctions in juvenile justice are often stimulated, although the focus is on stronger prevention and support from child and youth welfare to prevent future criminal careers.
