Police Probe 90-Kilometer Copper Heist at Mecklenburg Solar Park as Organized Theft

Investigators report an overnight break-in at the fenced A24 site that left sections of the photovoltaic park offline.

Overview

  • Police confirm roughly 90 kilometers of connection cable were removed from two areas of the Lüttow‑Valluhn solar park in the Ludwigslust‑Parchim district.
  • The theft caused a six-figure financial loss and disrupted parts of the facility.
  • Based on traces and method, officers believe multiple perpetrators used a large-capacity vehicle to haul the cable away.
  • An inquiry for bandendiebstahl has been opened, and authorities are appealing for witnesses to the night-to-Monday raid.
  • No suspects or motive have been identified, with media noting high copper demand as context rather than a confirmed driver.
