Five men attack a jeweler in Bramfeld – police are asking for information!
In a dramatic attack on a jewelry store in the Marktplatz Galerie shopping center in Bramfeld last Saturday afternoon (June 21, 2025), both the store owner and the customers experienced a shock. Five unknown perpetrators robbed the store around 5:08 p.m. While three men engaged the 52-year-old owner in conversation, two others broke into the display cases and stole jewelry, the value of which cannot yet be conclusively quantified. But the shop owner noticed the theft in flagrante delicto and tried to catch the perpetrators. A security service employee became active and briefly held one of the robbers, but the perpetrators managed to escape and flee through the parking garage. T-Online reports that no one was injured, which is often the second most important thing in such cases.
The police reacted immediately and initiated extensive searches. In addition to a dozen radio patrol cars, a police helicopter was also used, but the search for the perpetrators has so far been unsuccessful. They fled in a gray car in the direction of Steilshooper Allee after damaging the barrier as they left the parking garage. The Hamburg police now rely on information from witnesses who may have made suspicious observations or who can provide further information about the escape or the perpetrators. Information can be reported by calling 040 4286-56789 or at any police station.

Crime statistical information
The issue of security is particularly sensitive. According to the International Jeweler Alert Service, the latest evaluations show an increase in crimes in the jeweler sector. Not only robberies are committed, but also break-ins and fraud, which can result in severe financial losses for both the businesses affected and the entire industry. [Warndienst](https://warndienst.com/ criminal statistics/) emphasizes that the evaluations provide valuable information on the threat situation and for the strategic planning of security measures in order to better secure the companies.
