Jena-Nord/Jena. A rude awakening for a young restaurateur in the north of Jena: As the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena reports, a food truck became the target of burglars. The 25-year-old operator discovered on Tuesday evening that unknown persons had gained entry to his sales vehicle by force.
Electrical appliances stolen
According to initial police findings, the perpetrators specifically targeted the equipment of the mobile snack bar. They stole various electrical appliances from the interior. The net value of the stolen goods is estimated at over 600 euros. In addition, there is often property damage to the vehicle itself caused by breaking open doors or windows, as well as potential loss of earnings until the equipment is replaced.
Attack on the livelihood
For small business owners and food truck operators, such incidents are particularly frustrating. Unlike permanent shops, food trucks are often parked on public or semi-public parking lots at night, making them an easier target for criminals. The loss of work equipment often means that operations must be temporarily suspended, leading to further financial losses. Especially in districts like Jena-Nord, where commercial and residential areas mix, the police are now hoping for observant residents or passers-by.
Police Jena appeal for witnesses
The perpetrators were able to escape in an unknown direction after the burglary. The police have initiated an investigation into a particularly serious case of theft and are now looking for witnesses who made suspicious observations in the Jena-Nord area.
Anyone who can provide information about the perpetrators or saw people tampering with a food truck is asked to contact the Landespolizeiinspektion Jena. Information will be accepted by telephone at 03641 – 81 1504 or by email at Pressestelle.LPI.Jena@polizei.thueringen.de.
Stay alert and report suspicious activity to the police immediately to prevent such crimes in the future.
