Construction machinery gang strikes in Bufleben – police are looking for witnesses!

Bufleben (Gotha district) –In the last few days there has been such a brazen incident in Bufleben, a small town in the Gotha district, that the local police are already asking for information from the public. Unknown perpetrators stole several valuable construction equipment on the night of October 14th to 15th, 2024 at two construction sites on “Zum Bahnhof” street and “Adloffstrasse”.

As the police report, the thieves stole, among other things, a vibrating rammer, a vibrating plate, a joint saw and various cutting machines. The total value of the stolen equipment is estimated at around 4,000 euros. These devices are not only expensive, but also essential for carrying out construction activities in the region.

Call for help

The Gotha police have set up an investigative commission and are asking possible witnesses to call 03621-781124. Anyone who observed something suspicious on the night in question or who may be able to provide information about the perpetrators is asked to come forward and quote reference number 0266891/2024.

The loss of the machines could not only result in delays in the construction projects at the affected construction sites, but could also mean significant financial losses for the companies responsible. This type of theft is a serious problem in the construction industry as it not only involves the direct loss of equipment, but also endangers the entire construction site situation.

The regional police point out that every clue can be valuable in catching the perpetrators and getting the stolen material back. Further information about this incident is sparse, but the investigative team is working hard to collect clues and identify possible suspects.

The events in Bufleben show how important vigilance and neighborly help are in such situations. Such thefts not only affect the companies affected, but can also undermine trust in the security of construction sites and public spaces. Despite the challenges, the police hope that the case will be resolved quickly and the stolen equipment will be returned.
