Another break -in in the district office: thieves only leave little things!

Bad Reichenhall, Deutschland - in Bad Reichenhall, a new slump in the district office has made headlines. Unknown perpetrators penetrated the vehicle registration center between 4 and 7 October and had targeted blank documents. In this incident, however, the thieves could not make the hoped -for prey, since the safe in which the valuable registration documents were stored.

Now it comes to light that this is already the second slump within two years. In November 2022, burglars had captured 6000 blanks and 1750 seal badges. The press spokesman for the police headquarters in Upper Bavaria Süd, Stefan Sonntag, commented on and placed a possible connection between the incidents in the room.

Inadequate investigative approaches

However, the investigators are still far from drawing concrete conclusions. "There could be several perpetrators or an individual who acts nationally," said Sonntag. The police have little clues because there is a lack of witnesses and the securing of evidence has so far been unable to provide any decisive information.

In this slump, the prey seems to have been rather disappointing. While the perpetrators had promising documents in the event of previous burglaries, this time they only took a small safe that contained only a few hundred euros. This could have frustrated the perpetrators because the valuable blank documents could be used for various fraud.

deception maneuvers with vehicle documents

The illegal blank documents offer numerous options for criminal activities, from manipulation of vehicle historicals to the illegal approval of stolen vehicles. Stefan Sonntag said that real documents are often not identified as suspicious during traffic controls. If the police do not have specific suspicions, the likelihood of catching the perpetrators is extremely low.

The district office administration has announced that it will check the security measures in cooperation with the police to prevent future break-ins. Alexandra Rothenbuchner, press spokeswoman for the district office, said that the burglars' access routes were to be analyzed. So far, the safe was "sufficiently anchored" and had warded off the perpetrator's attempt to see what the authority sees as a success.

In the meantime, the police call up the public for help: Anyone who has noticed suspects or vehicles near the district office in the relevant period is asked to report to the Traunstein criminal police. Witnesses are crucial to solve the puzzle to solve the repeated break -ins and to hold the perpetrators into account.
