Brazen thieves steal a load of perfume while the driver is sleeping!
On the night of Friday, June 22, 2025, a truck with high-quality perfume was broken into at a hiking parking lot near Leinfelden-Echterdingen. The driver had gone to rest and was sleeping in his cabin when unknown perpetrators forced the semi-trailer of the tractor-trailer open. They stole the entire cargo, which is worth several hundred thousand euros. The gang of thieves probably needed one or more larger vehicles to transport the stolen goods, which included several dozen pallets. The Esslingen Criminal Investigation Department has already started investigating this large-scale perfume theft and is looking for witnesses who made suspicious observations in the parking lot area.
The incident highlights the increasing problem of theft of high-quality cosmetic products. A similar case recently occurred at the Strängenbach truck stop on the A2 in Lippetal, where unknown thieves were able to steal several pallets of cosmetic products from a truck. The driver was asleep in his cabin during the theft and was awakened by noises. However, by the time he checked the vehicle, the perpetrators had already fled, and the police have no information to date as to how the thieves forcibly opened the trailer's locking mechanisms. The exact contents of the cargo are unclear, but it is believed that they were perfume bottles. The criminal police have also started investigating this case and are asking the public for information about suspicious people or vehicles.
Call for witnesses and investigations
In both cases, the police rely on the help of the public. If you see anything suspicious or have any information about the whereabouts of your loot, witnesses should come forward immediately. In the case of theft in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, information is specifically requested about unusual activities in the area around the hiking car park. The investigators' experience shows that often only the smallest clues are crucial to convicting the perpetrators.
The increasing number of thefts of this type highlights the need for increased security measures in parking lots, especially at night. Drivers should be extra careful in the future and may take additional precautions to protect their valuable cargo and keep themselves safe.
