Supermarket Larceny Perpetrated by LPI-SHL
In the heart of Schmalkalden, a 39-year-old individual caused quite a fuss at the consumer market on Renthofstraße on June 20, 2025.
The day started ordinarily, until the man approached an employee, asking for expired food as he hadn't eaten for days. When refused, he helped himself to the salad bar, handling the self-service displays with bare hands and consuming the food.
The incident took an unexpected turn when the man also took two bottles of beer from the market. When confronted, he hid the stolen items in his backpack before police arrived.
Unfortunately, due to his actions, the contaminated food had to be discarded. The authorities are now involved in the investigation, with both the Schmalkalden-Meiningen Police Inspectorate and the Suhl Police Headquarters taking an interest in the case.
If you have any further inquiries about this incident, you can contact the Thuringian Police or reach out to the Schmalkalden-Meiningen Police Inspectorate at [email protected]. For more localised information, you can contact the Suhl Police Headquarters directly at 03693-591-0.
