Two Braunschweig Delivery Drivers Held Over Suspected Parcel Thefts

Evidence recovered in coordinated searches prompted prosecutors to pursue an aggravated-theft case.

Overview

  • Police provisionally arrested two parcel drivers in Braunschweig on suspicion of stealing high-value electronics from customer shipments.
  • A 59-year-old customer reported receiving an already opened package containing a worthless component instead of a tablet.
  • A prosecutor-approved search of a delivery van uncovered opened or partly empty boxes, several high-value devices, and vehicle voids used as hiding places.
  • Investigators also found additional electronics in a suspect’s home and seized a seemingly new high-end phone for which no ownership proof was provided.
  • A dispatcher later located the missing tablet with another driver, after which officers took both men into custody and continued the investigation.
