Overview
- The original Handball-Bundesliga trophy was taken from the Füchse business office at Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt during a break-in reported as occurring last Tuesday.
- Surveillance from a camera installed after a prior break-in was handed to police, who have opened an investigation but report no usable forensic traces so far.
- Club chief Bob Hanning says professionals were involved, citing use of a master key and the building’s transponder-controlled elevators, with intruders moving through all rooms and taking cash.
- The plate is the DHB original made of 925 sterling silver, roughly 46 centimeters across and 2.9 kilograms, with the manufacturer estimating a value of about €12,000.
- Füchse notified the HBL and are weighing a finder’s reward, while building management compiles access information for authorities.
