Suitcase thief in Wertheim: Police arrest brazen perpetrator!
A serious theft of suitcases has brought the police in Wertheim to the scene. A 23-year-old employee of a shopping store in Wertheim Village is suspected of stealing over 250 suitcases between March 2023 and March 2024. He sold them illegally at greatly reduced prices, which brought him estimated income in the low five-figure range and caused enormous damage to the company of over 40,000 euros. How main-echo.de reported that the buyers, a total of 158 people, were reported for receiving stolen goods because they should have recognized that the goods were stolen.
Traffic accidents with injuries in Bavaria
In another incident, there was a traffic accident in Unterhaching on December 11, 2024, in which a 71-year-old was injured. The 39-year-old driver of a Hyundai overlooked a Mercedes truck while changing lanes. A VW driver driving directly behind her was unable to brake in time and a collision occurred, trapping the Hyundai between the two vehicles. The 71-year-old was slightly injured and taken to hospital, while Ottobrunner Strasse had to be closed for an hour polizei.bayern.de reported.
These two incidents highlight the current challenges facing authorities related to theft and road safety. While the suitcase thief significantly abused his employer's trust through his illegal activities, the traffic accident shows the potential dangers in traffic that can arise from carelessness.
