Ludwigsburg district: 26 stolen motorcycles – police are hunting thieves!
Several defendants are currently on trial in the Ludwigsburg district for the theft of 26 high-quality competition motorcycles. The crimes, which were committed between November 2023 and June 2024, affect various models from well-known brands such as Honda, KTM, Suzuki, BMW and Aprilia. The total damage is estimated at 20,000 to 30,000 euros, said the Bietigheim newspaper with.
The crime scenes of the thefts are widely scattered and include Bietigheim-Bissingen with eight cases, Ludwigsburg-Poppenweiler, Markgröningen and Abstatt. The responsible court must now clarify to what extent the defendants are responsible for the respective thefts.
Planned retail sales
In a similar but separate case, the police in Saxony publicly searched for clues after a theft in the Ottendorf district of Bahretal, near Dresden. This incident occurred between July 30 and 31, 2024, when five motorcycles were stolen from a warehouse. The missing machines, which belong to a multiple motocross champion, have a total value of around 60,000 euros, reported MDR.
The perpetrators broke down a door to gain access. The stolen motorcycles include models such as the Husqvarna SMR 450 RR and the KTM SX 125, which are specifically tailored to the needs of the owner, Eddy Frech. Since these machines are not road legal, Frech suspects that the parts could potentially be sold individually.
Investigations and discoveries
One of the stolen machines was found near the crime scene on August 5, but does not belong to the owner, Eddy Frech. The police are currently carrying out trace work at the site and are trying to find out whether there are connections between this case and the theft in the Ludwigsburg district.
The investigations in both cases shed light on the increasing problem of motorcycle theft in Germany, which has reached dangerous proportions, especially for high-quality competitor machines. While the courts in Ludwigsburg deal with the defendants, it remains to be seen what further findings the investigations in Saxony will reveal.
