The former Reemtsma kidnapper Thomas Drach has now also been charged with a robbery in Hesse.

On September 10, 2018, he allegedly threatened an employee of a security company with an AK-47 assault rifle in a supermarket parking lot in Limburg and stole a suitcase containing 89,850 euros, the Cologne Regional Court announced on Tuesday.

He also took the employee's revolver with him.

An accomplice drove him away in a getaway vehicle.

Then the two perpetrators set the car on fire.

Drach and his Dutch accomplice are accused of particularly serious robbery and arson, a violation of the War Weapons Control Act and the Weapons Act, and forgery of documents.

Drach has already been charged with three robberies on money trucks, including attempted murder.

The Dutchman is said to have helped him with that too.

In May Drach was extradited from the Netherlands to Germany after being arrested in an Amsterdam apartment in February.
