Overview
- Police in Essen, which released surveillance photos Tuesday, asked for tips to identify a woman suspected in a cash theft.
- The break-in occurred February 9th in a Windmühlenstraße apartment in Holsterhausen between 11:10 and 11:20 in the late morning.
- According to police, the woman searched every room and took cash valued in the five‑figure euro range.
- Images show the suspect using gloves and a face covering, and police say she gained entry by manipulating the door latch after finding the door not fully secured.
- A judge approved the public release of the images, which in Germany is a standard step that allows police to seek broad help once other leads are limited.
