Total machine in Schönebeck damaged: Witnesses urgently wanted!

Total machine in Schönebeck damaged: Witnesses urgently wanted!

In the night of September 8, 2024, the police in Schönebeck - Felgelben had to do with an unpleasant incident. At around 3:15 a.m., the Federal Police Inspection Magdeburg received a note from the cash center Berlin that a ticket machine was presumably manipulated. The officers quickly moved on and found that the machine had been violently opened with an unknown tool.

At the scene of the crime, there was an interesting picture: the money cassettes in the machine were still untouched. It could indicate that the perpetrators may have been disturbed when they were executed. Despite intensive research in the area, no suspicious people or vehicles could be identified, and there were also acoustic information. This raises the question of how such a brazen act could occur without anyone noticing something.

The investigation runs

The federal police have now initiated an investigation due to the particularly serious case of theft and property damage. The concrete damage caused by the manipulation of the ticket machine cannot currently be quantified. An important element in the clarification of the case is that the investigators rely on the help of the public. You ask for information on whether someone has perceived movements of people or vehicles in the vicinity of the stop on Sunday morning between 02:00 and 03:15 a.m.

The police hoped that the citizens will quickly identify the perpetrators. The authority is very interested in finding out whether someone heard acoustic noises that could indicate a disturbance. These information range from loud noises to unusual activities in the area.

If you have any relevant information, you can contact the Magdeburg Federal Police Inspection directly. Alternatively, calls can also be addressed to the free hotline of the federal police. Another channel for relevant information is the note form on the official homepage of the Federal Police at www.bundenpolizei.de.

These incidents are not only a sign of increasing crime in public space, but they also put a strain on the feeling of security of the citizens. It is to be hoped that the committed cooperation between the police and the population can achieve faster success in the clarification of such offenses.
