Several masked men attacked and shot at a money transporter in Cologne. Bullet casings were found at the scene after the incident in the morning, a police spokesman said. According to initial findings, no one was injured. The police have not yet been able to say how many security guards were in the money transporter and whether the perpetrators made any loot.
According to the police, the perpetrators braked the van around 7.30 a.m. on the military ring in the Marienburg district. When the doors were not opened, the strangers are said to have fired. Crime scene footage shows multiple bullet holes in the windshield. Apparently the bullets didn’t penetrate the pane.
The perpetrators left one of the two crime vehicles behind and set it on fire. They fled in a dark Mercedes Vito. The police searched extensively for the perpetrators in the morning. The crime scene was cordoned off and forensics were on site.
According to the police, the military ring between the Oberländer Ufer and the forest botanical garden had to be closed on both lanes. The closure will last several hours.
Only at the end of June did strangers attack a money transporter in the center of Berlin. Two bank employees and two security guards of the van were injured. The perpetrators were able to escape. It is unclear whether the two cases are related.
