Berlin Police Release Photos to Find Suspected Decoy in Neukölln Robbery

Investigators are asking for tips to identify a woman accused of luring a victim into an ambush.

Overview

  • Berlin police published surveillance images and issued a public appeal for help about six months after a violent robbery in Neukölln.
  • The woman is suspected of acting as a decoy who led a man into a residential building on Aronsstraße, where several attackers beat and robbed him and left him unconscious.
  • The released images show a young woman with strikingly long, pale-blond hair, including footage of her at a store checkout.
  • Witnesses are asked to contact the Fachkommissariat of Police Directorate 5 (City) in Kreuzberg at (030) 4664-573111 or -573110 during office hours, or (030) 4664-571100 after hours, with tips also accepted by email or via the Berlin police online portal.
  • Police say the suspect remains unidentified and at large, and note that publishing images is a standard step to generate leads while the presumption of innocence applies.
