Stolen Vehicle: Car Robbery Recorded by Police

In the afternoon of August 30, 2025, a significant incident unfolded on Martfelder Weg. A male suspect smashed a side window of a Mazda car, according to reports received by the Ennepe-Ruhr District Police Headquarters.

Witnesses immediately notified the authorities about the incident, and an immediate search ensued. The police arrested a 31-year-old suspect from Schwelm at the scene, but the primary suspect, believed to be a 36-year-old man from Dortmund, managed to escape.

The Ennepe-Ruhr District Police Headquarters can be contacted at the Press Office, with the telephone number 02333 9166-1200 or via email at [email protected]. The headquarters is located at Strückerberger Straße 32, 58256 Ennepetal.

The Criminal Police are currently handling the further investigations into the incident. Extensive investigations suggest that the primary suspect could be the same 36-year-old from Dortmund who is also a person of interest in a tragic incident that occurred on September 15, 2025, in the Mallinckrodtstraße area. In this incident, a 13-year-old girl fell from a window and died.

A female person was observed in the vicinity during the crime on August 30, but it is unclear if she is connected to the suspects. The Criminal Police in Dortmund are conducting extensive investigations in relation to this case.

The arrest of the 31-year-old suspect from Schwelm was made, but the search for the primary suspect continues. The public is urged to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to the police. The mobile number for the Ennepe-Ruhr District Police Headquarters Press Office is 0174/6310227.
