Man Arrested After Driving Stolen Wheel Loader Into Fürth Jeweler and Snack Bar

Prosecutors ordered a blood test, with an investigative judge to decide next on possible pretrial detention.

Overview

  • In the early hours of Tuesday, a 37-year-old drove a stolen wheel loader through a jeweler’s storefront on Schwabacher Straße before continuing to a snack bar on Nürnberger Straße.
  • He pushed aside a parked car, rammed the snack bar’s entrance and an ATM, and failed in an attempt to remove cash from the damaged machine.
  • Patrol officers arrested the suspect, a Polish national, inside the snack bar without resistance.
  • Police recovered jewelry taken from the jeweler and confirmed the heavy vehicle had been stolen, as forensic teams secured evidence at both scenes.
  • Authorities have not yet determined the value of the stolen goods or the total property damage, and those assessments remain ongoing.
