Burglary in Lienz: perpetrators steal valuable copper and quad engine

In the night from Saturday to Sunday, a remarkable incident occurred on the company premises of a electricity provider on Schillerstrasse in Lienz. Unknown perpetrators stolen valuable items between 10 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The property was protected by an electronically secured sliding gate, but this did not prevent the thieves from getting to the site.

In the theft action, the perpetrators felled the engine of a quad that was parked there. They also stole three roles from the garages and storage rooms with around 1000 meters of copper cables and 20 copper rails. To transport the prey, the thieves use tools they found on site and even took advantage of a company's own forklift to solve the heavy copper from the roles. In view of the weight of the prey, the police assume that the perpetrators had to use a larger vehicle, probably a panel van.
