Law enforcement agencies are currently scrutinizing potential instances of a "Jammer" device being utilized.
In Dortmund, Germany, an unknown man stole several hundred euros worth of items from a car in the parking lot of a Kaufland market on Bornstraße, according to the Dortmund Police. The incident occurred around 8:30 PM on September 6th, 2025.
The victim, a 33-year-old man from Castrop-Rauxel, had left his Mercedes parked in the lot. Upon returning to his vehicle, he found an unidentified man searching through it. A physical altercation ensued, but the suspect fled the scene afterwards.
The suspect is described as a male, approximately 40 years old, standing around 170-175 cm tall with a normal build. He has an Eastern European appearance, is bald, and was wearing a blue T-shirt at the time of the incident. The specific nationality or ethnicity of the suspect is not known.
As the victim was inside the supermarket, he received a message on his phone that his car doors had been opened. A gym bag containing a technical device, believed to have been used to disrupt or intercept the radio signal when locking the vehicle, was left at the scene. The police secured this device.
The Dortmund Police are seeking witnesses regarding this incident (Case No.: 0775). Anyone with information about the crime or the fleeing suspect is asked to contact the Dortmund Criminal Investigation Department under the telephone number 0231/132-7441.
