Verden public prosecutor's office and Lower Saxony Land Criminal Police Office request your 
assistance!

Since 2015, the wanted persons Ernst-Volker STAUB (born on 30/10/1954), Burkhard GARWEG (born on 01/09/1968) and a third accomplice who was arrested on 26 february 2024, have been under 
investigation by the aforementioned public prosecutor's office for attempted murder and various 
attempted and completed aggravated robberies, which were committed in Bochum-Wattenscheid (27/12/2006), Wolfsburg (28/12/2015), Cremlingen (25/06/2016), Stuhr 
(06/06/2015) and other places in the period from 1999 until 2016.

It is still not clear where the wanted persons are staying, whether in Germany or in other 
European countries.

The investigating authorities also specifically ask the wanted persons' families, their friends and 
former RAF supporters to come forward with any information.

Therefore, we wish to point out the following:

Information and leads can also be provided confidentially.
Germany's investigating authorities have arranged for the use of the BKMS® system so that 
members of the public can get in touch with the investigating authorities anonymously and tip 
them off.

Please note that the BKMS® system is not a system run by the police. It has been successfully 
used for many years for the disclosure of anonymous information about cases of corruption in 
the private sector.

Your identity is absolutely safe; it is neither needed nor important for using the system. The 
system is technically designed in a way that the tips and information provided as well as the 
dialogues are automatically anonymised, which means that there is no way of tracing data back.

Caution:

Please do not approach the wanted persons; they might be armed!

INFORMATION WANTED
The police ask you to provide information in response to the following questions:
- Can you provide information on where the wanted persons stayed between 1999 and 
2016 or where they are staying now?
- Do you know of pictures, videos or other media showing the wanted persons?
- Are there persons in your surroundings/social environment who resemble the wanted 
persons and whose behaviour is rather unusual?
- Do you know persons who are supporting or used to support the wanted persons or 
know where they are staying but do not contact police because they are frightened?
- Can you give information on the wanted persons' illnesses, medical treatments, former 
contacts, friends, preferences or interests?
