Enigmatic sheep theft: 100 merino sheep in Thuringia disappeared!
In rural Thuringia, a mysterious incident causes excitement: Around 100 merino sheep has disappeared from a pasture in Wasserthaleben without a trace. Since the beginning of the year, the animals in the Kyffhäuserkreis Region have not been found, and the police are faced with a mystery because there are no indications of the whereabouts of the sheep. Despite intensive investigations, there are no useful traces or witnesses that could provide information about this incident.
Theft was only recently discovered when the owner of the sheep became aware of the missing animals as part of a routine vaccination campaign. In his pasture, which has been accessible since spring, he noticed that around 100 vaccine doses remained unused. Previously, the herd had consisted of 900 sheep that grazed in the wide area. Apparently a large part of the animals were removed unnoticed, which the police prompted to investigate.The investigation runs
The Nordhausen police initiated the investigation. "We searched for the pasture fences for traces of burglary or departure. We could not find them," said Kevin Clemen, police press spokesman, in the MDR magazine "Kripo Live". This statement about questions about how the thieves could get to work. The fact that the terrain was fenced suggests that there may be a well -planned operation behind this incident.
A significant hurdle for the investigators is the long period in which theft could have taken place. The exact time of the disappearance of the sheep is unclear. "It is conceivable that organized groups were involved," added Clemen. Unfortunately, there is also no evidence in the form of vehicle traces or proof of the removal of the animals, which further complicates the investigation.
The value of the stolen sheep is estimated at around 10,000 euros. The animals were equipped with ear tables that were apparently removed to make identification more difficult. These ear brands could act as a crucial indication for the police when it appears.
incident in the region
This case is not the first of its kind in the area. Only 50 kilometers away, in Aschara, 100 sheep were also stolen in July. The perpetrators penetrated a stable and stole young animals. The police in Thuringia checks possible connections between these two incidents. "We are looking for clues and try to find out whether there are connections," said Clemen. So far, however, there is no secure evidence.
The Sondershausen police ask the population for help. Anyone who has information about the whereabouts of the sheep or suspicious observations is asked to report on 0361/574 365 100. The pressure on the investigators is growing, and the attentive population could be the key to clarifying this puzzling case.
Overall, it remains to be seen how this case develops and whether further information comes to light, which could lead to the disappeared sheep, such as www.thueringen24.de reported.
