Over the weekend of September 27-28, farms in Waldeck, Netze, and Sachsenhausen fell victim to thieves who made off with several devices and tools, including control elements from John Deere tractors worth around 3,000 euros each. The stolen items are crucial for the operation of the tractors, making these thefts particularly disruptive for the affected farmers.
The police have issued a warning to farmers, advising them to remove valuable equipment like GPS systems to prevent further thefts. In one of the break-ins, the thieves were caught on camera, providing valuable evidence for the investigation. The footage shows two tall, slim men aged approximately 30 to 40, who are now the focus of the police's search. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Bad Wildungen police station.
