Prevents: planned theft of machines in Bad Langensalza!

In the night from Friday to Saturday, unknown perpetrators tried to steal several expensive machines on a company premises in Bad Langensalza. Thanks to an attentive witness who informed the police in good time, the theft was successfully prevented. Emergency forces from PI Unstrut-Hainich discovered a tractor-trailer in the urban area, in which two new telescopic coprad loaders were already stowed away. Tools and accessories were also secured nearby.

The driver of the tractor, originally from Lithuania, was temporarily arrested. The Kripo Nordhausen secured important traces at the scene of the crime because other machines were also provided for transport. The planned prey damage would have been almost 450,000 euros. The police suspect that other people were involved in the incident and are therefore looking for witnesses to be able to provide information on suspicious people or vehicles on Tonnaer Straße. The investigation continues.
