Cable thieves strike in Lippetal - witnesses wanted!

In the small community of Lippetal, more precisely in Oestinghausen, a brazen cable theft occurred between October 14th and 15th. Between 4:45 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., unknown perpetrators broke into a construction site on “In der Herbstlinde” street and stole several valuable copper cables.

The thieves were very targeted. First they forced open an electrical box to get to the cable connected there. But that wasn't enough for her. They went into the shell of the construction site and apparently specifically looked for additional cables. When they found what they were looking for on the upper floor, they took the stolen goods with them and made off unnoticed.

Police are asking for information

The police have already started an investigation and are asking the public for help. Witnesses who may have observed suspicious people or vehicles near the construction site can call 02921-91000. Every tip could be crucial in bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The theft of copper cables is not only a problem for the construction site operators affected, but also has economic consequences. Copper is considered a valuable material, and rising prices make such thefts particularly lucrative for criminals. It remains to be seen whether the police can use tips from citizens to track down the suspected perpetrators.

This incident shows once again that construction sites are often a popular target for thieves looking for valuable materials. However, the good news is that every attentive citizen can help prevent such crimes and support the police. It is important to be vigilant and report any suspected irregularities immediately www.presseportal.de reported.
