Livestock Extermination: Removal and Slaughter of Sheep; Burglaries Reported in Garden Houses, Pubs; Vehicular Collision; Tractor and Hay Press Ignite in Fire

In a series of bizarre events this week, the Reutlingen region has been shaken by a string of unusual incidents. From car collisions to animal thefts, fires, and burglaries, the local authorities are working tirelessly to unravel the mysteries behind these occurrences.

On Wednesday morning, a collision occurred on Hauptstraße in Onstmettingen. A 24-year-old driver, attempting to merge their Kia into the flow of traffic from the side of the road, failed to notice a 53-year-old BMW driver. The result was a significant collision that left both vehicles severely damaged and rendered them unfit for the road. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

Meanwhile, in Marie-Curie-Straße, Reutlingen's Römerschanze district, unknown persons took a sheep from a fenced-in pasture. The sheep was later found killed, its body approximately 100 meters away at the edge of a field. The Reutlingen-West police post and the Environmental and Business Affairs department have initiated investigations due to a suspected violation of the Animal Protection Act.

In another incident, a fire broke out on Wednesday afternoon on a field between the K 7128 and K 7130 roads. Firefighters, emergency services, and police were called to the scene, but the cause of the fire remains unknown.

Elsewhere in the region, an unknown person broke into a total of seven garden houses in the Kleingartenanlage Hohe Wiese in Großbettlingen. A large number of cordless power tools, batteries, and charging equipment were stolen. The Tübingen police station is investigating this case.

In a more unusual turn of events, an unknown person broke into an inn on Herrenberger Straße in Tübingen. Preliminary investigations suggest that a technical malfunction on a tractor may have caused a significant fire in a field in Geislingen. The perpetrators who caused this incident have not been publicly identified.

The authorities are urging anyone with information about these incidents, especially about the perpetrators, to come forward. Tips can be reported to the Reutlingen-West police post at telephone number 07121/9394-0. Let's hope these incidents are resolved soon, and normalcy returns to the Reutlingen region.
