In the past few months, several burglaries have been committed to fire equipment houses. The thieves focused primarily on high -quality battery -operated tools such as spreading tuer and separator. According to the police, these devices were then used for petrol station robberies. The now arrested are four suspects, two of whom are listed as the main suspect in a public prosecutor's investigation in Frankfurt (Oder). This shows that it is an organized group.

According to current information, crime has attracted young men aged 20 and 21 who have been in custody since July 13. The police found critical evidence in the apartments and vehicles of the suspect, including two spreading devices that could be assigned to various burglaries. This suggests that this group acted in a targeted manner and was able to attack several firefighters and petrol stations in which they captured a total of around 150,000 euros.

a threat to the community

The consequences of these burglaries are far -reaching. The police chief of Brandenburg, Oliver Stepien, emphasized that the arrests “a blow to the severe gang crime” succeeded. These events illustrate the vulnerability of public institutions and the need for increased security measures. The break -in in fire service equipment houses stands not only for the loss of valuable equipment, but also for the risk to the fire service willing to work, which is supposed to save lives in an emergency.

a coordinated approach of the authorities

The investigation of these crimes was promoted by the joint investigative group Berlin-Brandenburg (GEG), which consists of civil servants from both federal states and is subordinate to the Brandenburg State Criminal Police Office. It was found that the activities of the group were not only limited to Berlin and Brandenburg, but also had break-ins in other federal states such as Saxony-Anhalt, Lower Saxony and Thuringia. The systematic approach of this gang shows that the investigation teams are faced with a challenging task.
