Investigators first received help from a resident who noticed two suspicious persons in his garden a few hours after the crime and immediately alerted police. Subsequently, numerous tips came in from members of the public. The investigation received additional momentum through social media: several users contacted Osnabrück police after an alleged perpetrator reportedly distributed a video via Snapchat shortly after the robbery.
On Monday evening, a juvenile suspect appeared voluntarily at an Osnabrück police station together with his mother.
