After a series of violent acts, the police arrested several young people. The alleged perpetrators come not only from the west of Munich, but also from more distant places – and the police are now trying to find out how this concentration of crimes could come about.

The situation in the area around the Pasing train station seems to have calmed down since the federal and state police have increased their presence there. Around the turn of the year, robberies and violent crimes by young people had increased, but after the police were able to arrest a total of seven suspects by last Thursday, no new incident has become known. According to police spokesman Jakob Siebentritt, it is obvious “that the latest arrests are helping to combat the phenomenon.” The investigators are now looking for clues to the connection, but “as things stand, the suspects cannot be described as youth gangs,” he explained. The groupings do not seem to be composed homogeneously enough for this.
