Police Probe Thefts of 4.8 Tonnes of Used Frying Oil From Eight Nuremberg Fast-Food Sites

Police suspect the haul was resold to recycling firms, requesting witness tips via 0911 2112 3333.

Overview

  • Thefts occurred between August 30 and September 17 at eight branches in the greater Nuremberg area, with the latest reported break-in at a site on Am Tillypark.
  • Intruders accessed fenced outdoor storage areas and siphoned the used oil from on-site containers.
  • Police put the value of the stolen material at roughly €3,000 despite the significant volume.
  • The Fachkommissariat der Kriminalpolizei has assumed the investigation and issued a public appeal for information.
  • Investigators believe the oil likely entered the used‑oil collection market for reprocessing, including potential biodiesel production.
