Thieves strike in Hagen: high-quality construction equipment stolen from container!
A large-scale theft recently shocked the shell of the building site on Hagensche Strasse in Hagen. Unknown perpetrators broke into a construction container on the night of October 23rd to 24th, 2025. They forced it open and stole several high-quality construction equipment, including a high-pressure cleaner, a drill, a cordless screwdriver and two flex devices. The incident occurred between 3:45 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., suggesting that the act took place under the cover of darkness. The Lippe police have already taken over the investigation and are calling for possible witnesses who observed people or vehicles in the area during the period in question to come forward. You can contact the police via number (05231) 6090. Press contact is Yannick Thelaner at 05231 / 609-5050.
However, similar incidents are also occurring elsewhere in the region. A haunting report from the Altenburger Land documents a theft of tools near Hartha on the night of June 26th to 27th, 2025. A construction container on Landesstraße 1362 was affected. The thieves stole a variety of high-quality tools, resulting in an estimated loss of around 40,000 euros. The material damage to the container amounts to around 10,000 euros. Here too, the police have initiated an investigation and are asking for information about suspicious people or vehicles. You can contact the Gera police on 0365 / 8234 1465. The importance of the road construction project to which the construction site is part is crucial for regional traffic in the north of Altenburger Land, which further increases the possible impact of the theft.
There are repeated thefts on construction sites
The increase in these incidents casts a worrying light on the safety situation on construction sites. Similar break-ins into various construction containers have been heard several times recently. These thefts not only result in financial losses, they also significantly delay construction projects. Confidence in the safety of such construction sites can quickly disappear.
Whether high-pressure cleaners or flexible devices, the criminals are targeting valuable machines and tools that are essential for work on construction sites. The police appeal to all citizens to be vigilant and not to hesitate to report any suspicions. After all, every tip can help prevent such crimes.
