Tank fraud in Gelsenkirchen: enigmatic trio on the trail!

Both times they entered the petrol station with a dark Audi coupe without license plates and disappeared from the site after refueling.

As is so often the case with crimes, the happiness of the trio could fall by the wayside. The gear apparently used a sophisticated plan.
