Schnapps theft in Bad Buchau: Drunk burglars in the hospital!

A bizarre incident occurred on Monday evening in Bad Buchau when a 38-year-old man broke into a petrol station on Schussenrieder Strasse. According to Blicklokal.de happened between 8:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. The perpetrator had locked himself in the camp unnoticed after the shop closes and steel a bottle of schnapps before trying to flee.

But the story took an unexpected turn. At around 10:30 p.m., the heavily drunk man returned to the camp. The owner made a shock find: the man was no longer accessible and had fresh injuries to hands and face, like Augsburger-allgemeine.de reported. The petrol station owner immediately informed the emergency services, and the 38-year-old was brought to a clinic by ambulance.

burglary and injuries

The police in Riedlingen are now investigating theft of burglary. It remains unclear for the time being where the man's injuries come from. It is known that burglaries in Germany, especially in petrol stations, are not uncommon. In 2022, over 628 robberies were recorded at petrol stations, which was an increase compared to previous years. A total of around 1.78 million thefts were registered last year, with a worrying trend upwards, such as Statista

The background of this incident, however, are more than strange. How can it be that a man moves into a state after a failed slump that makes him pass out? Apparently the man had a "good hand" for risky decisions on Monday evening, which may not have to deal with the schnapps.

The investigation takes your run

The police will certainly bring further details to this incident. The residents in Bad Buchau can be excited to see how the investigators inform the background. In the meantime, the question remains open whether this incident is a one -time cause or the symptom of a major problem. Crime in German cities is declining, but burglaries and robberies remain a constant annoyance. A look at the statistics shows that petrol stations in particular are susceptible and therefore need special attention.

The case of the 38-year-old not only raises questions, but also gives rise to concern about security in our region. Stay tuned, we will report on the developments.
