Failed Attempt to Rob Bedburg Gas Station by Four Men

Wed 1st Oct, 2025

In Bedburg, four men attempted to break into a gas station but were unsuccessful in their endeavor. The incident occurred in the early hours of October 1, 2025, when the suspects, driving a dark Audi Q8, inspected the premises of the gas station located on Bahnstraße around 3:00 AM.

At approximately 3:45 AM, the group tried to force open the entrance door. However, their plans were thwarted when the alarm system was triggered, prompting the men to flee the scene.

Witnesses reported that two of the suspects were dressed in sports outfits--one in light attire and the other in dark clothing. Both were wearing headlamps and balaclavas to conceal their identities.

The local police have launched an investigation into the incident and are actively seeking witnesses to come forward with information. Anyone with details regarding the attempted robbery is encouraged to contact the police at 02271 81-0 or via email at poststelle.rhein-erft-kreis@polizei.nrw.de.

Officers have secured the scene to collect evidence and have filed a report regarding the attempted break-in. Further updates from the investigation will be provided as they become available.
