A gang of at least three burglars recently made millions in Bogenhausen: expensive handbags, jewelry and watches. Experts from the Munich criminal police were on the trail of the trio, who were filmed doing their crime. Now the handcuffs clicked in Ingolstadt. Commissariat 51, which is responsible for gang crime, is continuing to investigate – the police do not believe it is out of the question that further burglaries could also be carried out by the three prisoners or by as yet unknown accomplices.
The resident of an apartment building in Herzogpark called the police on Good Friday. She noticed that her neighbor’s apartment door had been broken down. The burglars were already out of the woods. They took with them handbags from Hermès, luxury watches from Cartier and jewelry from Bulgari. Total value of the loot: around one million euros.
The three perpetrators – two women and a man – had also left something behind. Namely, recordings from the surveillance cameras that showed pretty precisely who the Munich police had to look for. The investigation led to two women, 38 and 43 years old, and a 26-year-old man with Serbian, Czech and Dutch passports. The trio stayed in a guesthouse in Ingolstadt.
The investigators from Commissariat 51 contacted the responsible Jour public prosecutor on Monday, who ordered a search of the room occupied by the suspects. The three were temporarily arrested there. Remand warrants have now been issued and the suspects are currently in various detention centers in southern Bavaria. However, the loot has not yet been found.
There have been several burglaries, especially in Bogenhausen, in recent months, in which the perpetrators made loot in the high six-figure range. On a Friday evening in November, burglars stole jewelry worth up to 100,000 euros on Chamisso Street.
At the beginning of January, items and cash worth several hundred thousand euros were stolen during a break-in at Normannenplatz. One perpetrator was filmed. Also on a weekend, also near Normannenplatz and also via the balcony door, unknown persons broke into two apartments in an apartment building at the beginning of March. They managed to escape with cash and jewelry worth a total of several hundred thousand euros.
