Stolen 600‑Kilogram Safe Found in Schleiderner See After Waldeck Burglary

Police seek witness tips to trace how the 600‑kilogram safe was removed then abandoned.

Overview

  • A walker spotted the opened safe at the shore of the Schleiderner See on Saturday, and THW units recovered it for transport to the Korbach police station.
  • Pouches and certificates inside tied the safe to a Scheid home burglary, with cash and valuables worth a lower six‑figure euro sum missing.
  • Preliminary findings indicate offenders cut cables to two surveillance cameras, forced a cellar door, and moved the safe out over the terrace, though the transport method remains unclear.
  • A neighbor reported an open door around 7:15 a.m. the morning after the break‑in, knowing the resident family was on vacation.
  • Investigators from Kripo Korbach ask for information about suspicious activity at the lake between Thursday and Saturday via 05631/9710.
