Berlin 09-03-2010
Berlin police were left hunting yesterday for four hooded bandits who stormed a poker tournament in the city centre of Berlin Potsdamer Platz and stole about 210,000 Euro in a brazen and cocky daylight robbery.
Four armed men ran into the 1000 player ‘European Poker Tour’ event at the Grand Hyatt Berlin -two of the four men were armed, one with a machete and one with a revolver, police have said, and they were not part of the kitchen staff.
The police were analyzing some camera footage taken during the crime, and one of the surveillance cameras outside the hotel caught one robber without his mask, but only from behind.
Based on this masterfull evidence the police are now looking for “ a man with dark hair, wearing a leather jacket, pants and shoes” – which describes about ¼ of Berlin.
The police have faulted organizers for not hiring enough guards but also admitted that this type of crime is very seldom in Berlin.
