An employee in a Rewe market in Bruchköbel becomes aware of a 12-year-old.

Bruchköbel - Hard to believe, but true: A twelve-year-old boy in Bruchköbel (Main-Kinzig-Kreis) near Hanau first stole cigarettes and then attacked an employee with a metal pole.

This was announced by the police in Southeast Hesse.

What happened?

The boy first stole a carton of cigarettes on Tuesday afternoon (August 9) in the Rewe market on Waldseestrasse.

An employee smelled the roast and confronted the young thief at the market exit, the police reported.

The 12-year-old then hit the employee with a metal bar against the ribs, as reported by op-online.de.
