The first break-in was recorded around 4:40 a.m. on Tuesday morning. Here the burglars tried to open the front door of a shop on Wilhelm-Mevis-Platz. After the unsuccessful attempt to leverage, they finally broke in, ransacked the cash register area and stole cash.

Further incidents and investigations

During the course of the night, a practice on Orrer Street was also targeted by the perpetrators. The police received a tip about a bag containing personal documents that had been discovered nearby.
