Overview

  • Unknown suspects struck several Netto stores near Passau last Friday, escaping with coffee valued at several hundred euros per location.
  • Inventory checks in Windorf and Eging am See confirmed missing quantities of about 50 and 64 coffee packs, worth a low four-figure sum.
  • Earlier claims of around 450 stolen packs were corrected after thorough stock audits revealed lower losses.
  • Police are reviewing surveillance footage and appealing for witnesses to help identify the perpetrators.
  • Steep import price increases have elevated packaged coffee into a high-value target and prompted retailers to pilot locked displays and AI-powered loss prevention.
