Container break-ins in the Schärding district: Police hold 42-year-old perpetrators!

A criminal tragedy has found its peak in the Schärding district: since the beginning of the year, the reports have been piling up on container break -ins on construction sites in which valuable tools were stolen. Investigations by the Schärding police inspection now led to the arrest of a 42-year-old Bosniaks who is suspected of being involved in these criminal machinations. In the event of a arrest on November 7, 2024, the police were able to ensure thiefs in his vehicle, which became the prelude to an extensive search for traces that revealed a shocking scope of eleven burglaries, such as meinzirk.at reported.

The suspect, who comes from the Schärding district, confessed during his interrogation to have committed several acts in the neighboring districts of Schärding and Grieskirchen. In the course of the investigation, the officials not only discovered stolen goods from current burglaries, but also tools that came from deeds in Lower Saxony and Lower Austria - which only makes the dimension of his crime more frightening. A cordless screwdriver and an angle grinder had their origin in burglaries from 2018 and 2019, as in another report by tips.at is explained.

the number of unreported cases and their consequences

Although the accused is already confessed, the question of the number of unreported cases remains open. The police expect other deeds to come to light because the man may be part of a larger network that has organized his criminal activities across various districts. These developments throw a light on the challenges of the local police to combat building fire pencils and burglars that not only capture stolen goods, but also cause enormous damage to property.
