Serial burglar caught: Bosnian drug addict steals e-bikes!
The Klagenfurt police have arrested a 37-year-old Bosnian who is said to be a serial burglar responsible for dozens of cellar break-ins in the city. Loud Cosmo The police investigated for several months because the suspect repeatedly eluded the investigators. Finally, the officers were able to stop the man and, during a house search, confiscate around ten stolen e-bikes, the total value of which is tens of thousands of euros.
The investigation revealed that the high-quality e-bikes were offered for sale on various internet platforms. During the search, in addition to the bicycles, various addictive substances were found that the Bosnian had intended for his own consumption. The arrested man confessed to the crimes and said his drug addiction was the motive for the thefts. These were used to finance his drug use.
E-bike thefts in Lower Saxony
Among the e-bikes seized was a white model from the Merida brand, which could be attributed to a theft from Ulmenweg. While searching the apartment, the investigators encountered a 39-year-old man who was provisionally arrested after consultation with the Hildesheim public prosecutor's office, but was released the following Tuesday. During the search, the officers also found several instruments of crime and a joint.
The background to the addiction problem
The incidents in Klagenfurt and Sarstedt shed light on the problem of drug addiction, which has increased in recent years. A survey of the Federal Drug Commissioner shows that addiction to substances, including illicit drugs and prescription medications, is a growing societal problem. The numbers are particularly alarming among adults aged 18 to 64.
Substances with a high potential for abuse and addiction are particularly affected, such as painkillers, antidepressants and stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines. These data illustrate the need to understand the background to addiction and to create appropriate offers of help.
The police search and investigation work in both cases underlines the challenge associated with drug addiction-related crime and the importance of education and prevention in society.
