Jena. There was a rude awakening on Tuesday morning for a car owner in the Jena district of Lobeda-Altstadt. What initially seemed like a bad joke or a mistake quickly turned out to be a crime involving high financial loss.
Vehicle Vanished Without a Trace from Property
As the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena announced this Wednesday, a 37-year-old resident rubbed his eyes in disbelief when he stepped out of his house on Tuesday morning. His grey Hyundai IONIQ5, which he had properly parked on his private property on Monday evening, had disappeared.
The man’s initial hope that the vehicle might have been towed due to a misunderstanding or an obstruction was quickly dashed. The summoned officers immediately checked the situation and were able to confirm: there was no official measure. The high-value electric car had indeed been stolen.
Investigation Ongoing: Unknown Perpetrators at Work
Under the cover of darkness on the night between Monday and Tuesday, the perpetrators gained access to the property in the Lobedaer Altstadt. How they were able to start and drive the vehicle away is currently the subject of police investigations. Since there are often no signs of forced entry, such as broken glass, at the crime scene, technical manipulations frequently become the focus of investigators with modern vehicles. Whether electronic aids were used in this specific case to bypass the locking system has not yet been confirmed.
The police immediately initiated international search measures for the vehicle. An investigation into the theft has been opened.
Witnesses Sought
Particularly in residential areas like the Altstadt of Lobeda, the police often hope for observant neighbors. Anyone who observed suspicious persons or vehicles during the night in question should contact the authorities. Any information can help identify the perpetrators or clarify the whereabouts of the grey Hyundai.
