Dramatic break-in: valuable technology stolen from Neuhofen's library!
In Neuhofen, on October 14, 2024, a remarkable incident occurred in the community library in the Otto Ditscher House. Library employees discovered that several computer parts, including hard drives, a keyboard and memory, were missing. The problem became apparent when the computers stopped working for several days, alarming employees.
In addition to the computer components, a cash register containing 125 euros in cash and two USB sticks was also stolen. What is particularly striking is that so far there is no evidence of how the perpetrators got into the library, as no signs of break-in were found. At the time of the incident, renovation work was taking place in the building, which may have had an impact on the security situation.
