On Saturday night (05.07.), unknown perpetrators managed to steal Makita tools from a garage on Brunnenstraße. The value is said to be several hundred euros, at least a four-figure sum. The 55-year-old owner had been working with the cordless screwdrivers that evening and discovered the tools missing on Saturday morning. The police then recorded the crime scene and investigated a connection with a theft in the neighborhood. There, thieves stole a bicycle trailer from a neighbor's terrace. The as yet unknown perpetrators stole nine tools from the garage. These were cordless screwdrivers, chargers, hedge trimmers and chainsaws as well as a torque wrench and a Baricus high-pressure cleaner. The police are looking for witnesses to the incident. Possibly connected to the crime is a moped that was observed during the night. It was riding around the estate at around 03:00. Information on the crime is requested from the Herford Criminal Investigation Department on 05221-8880.
