BMW thieves in Wassenberg: bumper stolen at night!

in Wassenberg, a quiet place in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, occurred in the early morning hours of October 19, 2024. Unknown perpetrators broke into a parked vehicle and stole important parts of the car. The vehicle, a BMW, was parked on the street "An der Windmühle" when the thieves became active.

The perpetrators managed to remove the vehicle and loosened the fastening screws for the bumper and the shock absorbers below. Both the front and the rear bumper were stolen, which raises the question, why these parts were the target of theft. As a rule, such components in the automotive range are of considerable value.

Investigations by the police

The criminal police immediately started the investigation to grasp the perpetrator and collect further information about the incident. Such offenses are not only annoying for the vehicle owners concerned, but also lead a light on the security situation in the region. It remains to be seen whether there are witnesses who can contribute to the clarification or whether surveillance cameras near the crime scene contribute something to identify the perpetrators.

The criminal officers will probably also question the surrounding neighborhoods and look for possible contexts with similar incidents in the area. This type of theft is not unusual, especially not in urban areas where cars are often the destination of criminals. The absence of serious safety precautions could be a reason why such acts take place more often.
