Cigarette machines in Buchholz and Neustadt - dark night of the perpetrator!

In a number of nightly vandalism incidents that shook the quiet communities of Buchholz (Westerwald) and Neustadt (Wied), two cigarette machines were violently broken up at the weekend. The acts took place on the night of Friday, October 4, 2024 to Saturday, October 5, 2024. In Buchholz, the incident occurred in the main street, while in Neustadt, more precisely in the district of Fernthal on Dreilager Straße, similar criminal machinations were found.

The perpetrators not only stole the cigarette boxes from the machines, but also the cash that was kept in them. Such incidents are not only a financial loss for the machine operators, but also represent a security problem for the residents. The police ask the population for help: who has observed something suspicious on the night, especially with regard to unusual vehicles, are asked to report.
