The big series of tool thefts in Fulda: Police are asking for information!
On the night of Thursday, June 26th, there was a series of thefts in Fulda-Haimbach that caused excitement in the local construction world. Unknown perpetrators stole valuable tools from construction sites on Dr.-Hamm-Brücher-Straße. The loss adds up to around 20,000 euros, an amount that represents a significant blow for both craft businesses and private individuals. In one of the cases, the thieves even got into a garage, where they took materials as well as construction equipment.
The police suspect that a van was used to transport the stolen items. This is particularly likely considering that among the items taken was a heavy plastering machine. Anyone who has information about the perpetrators or suspicious vehicles can call the Hesse police on (0661) 1050 or via the online watchdog. Fuldaer Zeitung reports that....
But criminal cases are not only recorded in Fulda-Haimbach, but also in other parts of the region. In Hilders, on the night of Tuesday, January 30, 2024, several valuable Hilti toolboxes were stolen from a warehouse on “Aixfeld” street. The value of this theft amounts to several thousand euros. In a similar way, burglars also broke into the basement of an apartment building in Fulda. Power tools, including a table saw and several Makita machines, were stolen - the damage amounts to around 2,700 euros. Further thefts involved vehicle license plates in Künzell and Fulda. Here, too, the police rely on information to find the perpetrators. Digital Daily provides information about the thefts in the region.
The constant increase in thefts in Germany raises questions. According to current statistics, around 5.63 million crimes were registered in 2022, with theft and robbery being the most common crimes. In particular, the number of thefts has increased for the first time since 2015, with 1.78 million cases recorded last year. Home break-ins are particularly popular in North Rhine-Westphalia - over 23,500 cases were recorded here in 2022. The clearance rate for residential burglaries is only 16.1%, which underlines the challenge for the police. Statista explains the current crime situation in Germany.
People in the region are urged to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately. Especially in times when craft businesses are under pressure, the loss of tools and materials represents an enormous economic burden. The police rely on support to catch the perpetrators and to ensure safety in everyday life.
