Unlawful Heist at Wolfhagen Gambling Den

A robbery at a gaming arcade in Wolfhagen, which occurred approximately six weeks ago, has led to the arrest of two men. The investigation into the incident, being conducted jointly by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Kassel and the North Hesse Police Headquarters, has revealed that the 44-year-old and 53-year-old suspects are believed to have been involved.

According to the police, the robbery resulted in the theft of a small furniture safe containing approximately 100 euros. The suspects allegedly threatened an employee of the arcade with a bayonet and tied him to a chair. The employee was able to free himself and alert the police after the robbery.

The 44-year-old is suspected of driving the getaway car, while the 53-year-old is suspected of threatening and tying up the arcade employee during the robbery. The two men allegedly attempted to break into several gaming machines but were unsuccessful.

Evidence, including clothing allegedly worn during the robbery, was found during a search of the 53-year-old's apartment. The 44-year-old was arrested but was later released as there were no grounds for detention. The 53-year-old will be brought before a judge to decide on his detention.

Unfortunately, a third suspect, who is believed to have driven the car, is still at large. The investigation into this individual is still ongoing.
