Hunting chase in Gieboldehausen: 44-year-old arrested after tanker theft

In a sensational chase, a 44-year-old man from the Old Circle Osterode was arrested by the Duderstadt police on August 9, 2024. The suspect had presumably broken up a self -service stan artist in Gieboldehausen and then tried to flee with his vehicle.

background to the incident

The incident occurred around 3:30 a.m. on the new street when a witness observed how the man struggled with a tool on the machine. The witness immediately alerted the police, who then initiated a search. So far it is not clear whether the suspect stole anything in this act, but a considerable damage to property was created at the machine.

persecution and arrest

After the suspect had escaped and shouted towards the federal road 27, several patrol cars from Duderstadt and Göttingen were mobilized to track him. The search led the officers to a dirt road between Wollbrandshausen and Gieboldehausen, where the man was traveling in an Opel Corsa at an excessive speed.

In a sharp curve, he finally lost control of his vehicle, which overturned the Opel and ended up in the ditch on the driver's side. Fortunately, the driver only suffered minor injuries and was able to leave the car independently before he was arrested without resistance by the officials.

further investigations and follow

On the basis of first investigations, the 44-year-old has no valid driver's license and is also suspected of being responsible for more than 20 further burglary. These include not only auto-breaks, but also various burglaries in buildings in the Old Circle Osterode and in the area of ​​Duderstadt. These incidents put a light on a bigger problem: the increase in crime and burglaries in rural areas that not only endanger the safety of residents, but also impair the feeling of carefree in their own neighborhood.

a difficult problem for the community

The case of the 44-year-old reflects a growing need for more security in rural regions. Citizens are increasingly concerned about thefts and a feeling of uncertainty. The police emphasize the importance of vigilance and reporting suspicious activities to effectively counter crime.

The investigation into this incident continues and it remains to be seen which further information will come to light. While patience and determination in the fight against crime are required, it is also crucial to restore the trust of the community in the security forces.
