Overview
- Unknown perpetrators broke into the fenced rear area of the Gruibingen A8 service station overnight from Friday to Saturday and took two containers of used frying fat.
- Police say the offenders likely rammed the fence with a vehicle to reach the storage area.
- About 300 units were stolen, with reports differing on whether the amount was roughly 300 liters or 300 kilograms.
- The site lacked video surveillance despite 24/7 operations, and officers secured traces as they opened an inquiry and examined links to similar thefts; no suspects have been identified.
- In a separate case in Siegburg, police stopped a 37-year-old and his 17-year-old son and seized a van and barrels of used oil as part of an ongoing investigation.
