Unknown persons break open cigarette vending machines in Völklingen

When the police arrived, the 4 unknown individuals had already fled. The perpetrators had smashed a circular hole into the shop window and completely emptied the machine. Due to the blood traces found, one of the perpetrators must have injured himself on the glass shards. During the subsequent search, a 24-year-old was stopped after attempting to hide behind parked cars in the area of Cloosstraße. The man, who was under the influence of drugs, had a fresh cut on his hand. During his search, goods from the machine worth 380 EUR were found. A corresponding criminal proceeding was initiated against him. The police in Völklingen request further information about the machine break-in at the phone number 06898 2020.
