According to the police, the robbery happened around 11:15 a.m. in front of a Postbank branch on Uhlandstrasse in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district. Two robbers are said to have sprayed tear gas during the attack. According to the “Bild” newspaper, at least one of the perpetrators was armed. Several shots were fired in the air.

There have been a number of robberies on money transporters in Berlin in recent years. In February, strangers struck in front of a supermarket in the Neukölln district and stole money. They escaped on scooters.
A robbery of a money transporter in front of a bank branch on Berlin’s Ku’damm in 2021 was spectacular: the perpetrators wore orange garbage man clothing and stole almost 650,000 euros. The court sentenced a man to seven years in prison, but four of the perpetrators have not yet been identified.
