Ten-year-old victim of brazen robbery in Wiesbaden!
In Wiesbaden, a double attack on children is causing excitement and discussions about safety in the city. On Wednesday evening, a 10-year-old boy was the victim of a robbery on Nixenstrasse. The incident occurred around 7:40 p.m. when a male perpetrator approached from behind and violently ripped the child's backpack from his shoulder. Despite the resistance of the little boy, who wanted to defend himself, the attacker pushed him to the ground and fled with his prey towards Dotzheimer Strasse.
The description of the perpetrator gives hope that he can be caught soon. He is described as being around 30 to 40 years old, around 1.80 meters tall and of strong build. Short-haired and with a distinctive "goatee", he was wearing a jacket, red-black shorts and flip-flops at the time of the crime.

A worrying trend
The latest attacks highlight a worrying trend in Wiesbaden and nationwide. According to the current police crime statistics for 2023, recorded crimes increased by 5.5% compared to the previous year. These are the highest number of cases since 2016, with a particular focus on violent crimes. In 2023, over 190,000 violent crime suspects were registered, an increase of 6.9%.
The current situation shows that there are many reasons leading to this increase. Improved mobility, economic and social burdens caused by inflation and a high immigration rate in Germany are considered central factors. Particularly striking: around 4.6% of the suspects were children under the age of 14, with their number increasing by 12.0%. While the security situation seems worrying at first glance, it is important to remain vigilant and protect the children in Wiesbaden accordingly.
