The large tool theft series in Fulda: Police asks for clues!

In the night of Thursday, June 26th, Fulda-Haimbach came to a series of thefts in excitement in Fulda-Haimbach. Unknown perpetrators stole valuable tools from construction sites in Dr.-Hamm-Brücher-Straße. The loss adds up to around 20,000 euros, an amount that is a sensitive blow for both craft businesses and for private individuals. In one of the cases, the thieves even got into a garage, where they also took materials in addition to construction machines.

The police suspect that a van was used to remove the stolen utensils. This is particularly likely when you consider that there was a heavy plastering machine under the stolen objects. Anyone who has information about the perpetrators or suspicious vehicles can contact the Hesse police on the telephone number (0661) or the online guard of the Hesse police. Fuldaer Zeitung reports that ... .

not only in Fulda-Haimbach, crime cases are also recorded in other parts of the region. In the night of Tuesday, January 30, 2024, several valuable tool boxes of the Hilti brand were stolen from a warehouse in the “Aixfeld” warehouse on Tuesday, January 30, 2024. The value of this theft amounts to several thousand euros. In a similar way, burglars also placed in a basement room of an apartment building in Fulda. This is where electric tools, including a table saw and several Makita machines, were stolen - the damage is around 2,700 euros. Other thefts concerned the license plates of vehicles in Künzell and Fulda. Here, too, the police are dependent on clues to find the perpetrators. Digital Daily informs about the thefts in the region.

The steady increase in thefts in Germany raises questions. According to current statistics, around 5.63 million crimes were registered in 2022, with theft and robbery representing the most common offenses. In particular, the number of thefts has increased again for the first time since 2015, with 1.78 million cases recorded last year. In the North Rhine-Westphalia in particular, burglaries are very popular-over 23,500 cases were recorded here in 2022. The clearance rate for burglary theft is only 16.1%, which underlines the challenge for the police. Statista explains the current crime situation in Germany.

People in the region are called up to be vigilant and report suspicious activities immediately. Especially in times when craft businesses are under pressure, the loss of tools and materials represents an enormous economic burden. The police are dependent on support to take the perpetrators and to ensure security in everyday life.
