Burglary in Bruchköbel: Perpetrators steal cables and flood new building

At around 3 a.m. the burglars gained access to a new building in Fritz-Schubert-Ring (house numbers 20). There they broke open the door to an almost completed apartment and got to work: They cut all the electrical cables, removed sockets and switches and removed the copper cables and power lines that had already been installed. The loot was worth around 4,000 euros.

After the work was done, the perpetrators apparently turned on the taps – their drains were not yet connected. The apartment was flooded, the water penetrated into the apartment below and caused further damage.

The criminal police are asking witnesses who can provide information about the perpetrators to call (069) 80981234.

A driving school in the Fulda district was also recently targeted by burglars: Unknown perpetrators stole cash there and caused damage to the building amounting to around 3,000 euros.
