Brazen Theft on Bibliotheksweg in Jena-Nord

On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, a particularly serious case of theft occurred in the north of Jena. Between 09:30 AM and 12:30 PM, unknown perpetrators stole a high-quality e-mountain bike. The crime scene is located in the heavily frequented area of the bicycle racks at the Mensa on Bibliotheksweg. Especially during lecture hours, there is a lot of activity on campus, which did not deter the perpetrators from their brazen plan.

Valuable Tout Terrain E-Bike Stolen Without Front Wheel

To get hold of the valuable e-bike from the premium brand „Tout Terrain“, the thieves used a ruthless method. Since the front wheel of the bike was locked and secured to the bicycle racks, the perpetrators simply removed it entirely. They left the secured wheel at the scene and fled undetected with the remaining e-bike worth around 9,500 euros. The police have launched an investigation into the particularly serious theft.

Witness Appeal: Police Request Information

Since the theft occurred in broad daylight at a busy location on the Jena university campus, the police are hoping for attentive witnesses who observed suspicious persons or actions on Bibliotheksweg during the time of the crime.
