Thieves strike garage and truck stop in Central Hesse overnight raids

Thieves targeted a garage and a truck stop in the Central Hesse region over the past few days. The Police Spokesperson for Central Hesse Police Headquarters, Guido Rehr, has urged anyone with information to come forward.

On Thursday night into Friday morning, thieves broke into a garage on Jasminweg in Staufenberg. They made off with speakers and tools, with the owner estimating the total loss to be around €30,000. The burglary occurred between 11:30 PM and 7:00 AM.

In a separate incident, thieves tampered with three parked semi-trailers at a truck stop along the A45 highway between Gießen-Lützellinden. The incident happened between 6:00 PM on Thursday and 5:05 AM on Friday. Although the seals on the trailers were broken, no cargo was stolen, according to initial assessments by the drivers.

Police are treating these incidents as separate cases. Anyone with information about the garage burglary is asked to contact Gießen South Police Station at 49 641 7006-3555, while witnesses of the truck stop incident should call Gießen North Police Station at 49 641 7006-3755. Media inquiries can be directed to the Central Hesse Police Headquarters Public Relations & Press Office at 49 641 7006-2055 or via email at [email protected].
