Large-scale food theft uncovered during vehicle inspection in Dusseldorf Wersten
On Thursday evening at 19:20, a Mercedes with a Cologne license plate was stopped by the Wersten police station on the Cologne road. The incident, which occurred near the police station, led to an intriguing discovery.
The officers conducting the stop and search found a significant amount of food in the vehicle, including 200 packets of butter and 146 pieces of Parmesan cheese. Alongside the food, they discovered a bolt cutter, a machete, and two knives.
The investigation is now underway to establish the source of these items, with the food being traced back to a Düsseldorf discount store and handed over to the authorities. However, at this stage of the investigation, the food has not been confirmed as stolen property.
The two 50-year-old occupants of the vehicle could not explain the origin of the food and the suspicious items found. The men, who have a history of theft offenses, were released after all police measures were completed.
The investigation will continue to gather evidence and determine the involvement of the men in any potential theft offenses. It will also aim to establish the purpose of the bolt cutter, machete, and knives found in the vehicle.
The release of the men does not indicate the conclusion of the investigation. The specific nature of the suspected theft is yet to be determined, and the investigation is ongoing to clarify the exact background of the case.
Despite the lack of available information about the incident in the provided search results, it is clear that this is an interesting development in the ongoing fight against crime in the region. The public will be updated as more information becomes available.
