Thieves steal BMW tires and rims – “Good thing we didn’t want to go on holiday”

An unusual theft occurred in Kreuztal-Ferndorf. A resident noticed that all the tires and rims of his car were missing.

Kreuztal – “It’s good that we didn’t want to go on holiday today,” says Christian Rump on Friday morning shortly after half past seven. At this point he can laugh again. It was different when he received a picture from his friend around twelve o’clock in the morning. With his car, a BMW 540. Because in the night from Thursday to Friday, unknown criminals removed and stole all four rims and tires from a car parked on Zitzenbachstraße in Kreuztal-Ferndorf (NRW).

Stolen BMW tires and rims – the car stands on four wooden stands

In the morning, the car is loaded onto four boards that have been sawn to fit. At the back there is a thick stone that is only a few meters to the courtyard of the property. For whatever reason, the characters also put it there. Christian Rump calls the police, who record the incident and file a robbery report.

A request from this editorial team to the press office of the Siegen Wittgenstein district police authority on Friday morning shows that this appears to be the only incident in the Kreuztal area.
