Armed Robbery at Köpenick Petrol Station: Suspect Fires Shot When Employee Resists

Two masked suspects carried out an armed robbery at a petrol station on Friedrichshagener Straße in Berlin-Köpenick late on the night of November 2, 2026. The pair entered the sales area at around 11:20 p.m. and confronted a female employee, demanding cash. When she initially refused, one of the suspects drew an alleged blank-firing weapon and discharged it toward the ceiling. The employee then opened the register, and the suspects fled along Friedrichshagener Straße with a sum in the lower three-digit euro range. No one was injured. Nothing is currently known about the identities of the perpetrators. A specialist investigation unit of Police Directorate 3 (East) has taken over the case on suspicion of aggravated robbery.
