Bicycle thief strikes right in front of the police - witnesses wanted!

In Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, a strange incident occurred on October 19, 2024, which indicates the topic of security in the vicinity of police stations. At around 7:30 p.m., a 48-year-old man from Haßloch departed his bike in front of the police station while he was filing an advertisement. What initially looked like a harmless process quickly developed into theft that excited the tranquil city.

When the cyclist returned to his bike after about ten minutes, he found that the rear light of his bike had been removed and stolen. The damage incurred is estimated at around five euros. At first glance, this may seem insignificant, but raises questions about security in the immediate vicinity of a police building.
