- Type of incident: Theft of construction site property (approx. 20 construction fence panels and bases)
- Crime scene: Construction site at Salvador-Allende-Platz, Jena (View on Google Maps)
- Time of crime: Friday, June 26, 2026, approx. 2:00 PM to Monday, June 29, 2026, approx. 7:00 AM
- Amount of damage: approx. 4,000 Euro
- Investigating department: Landespolizeiinspektion Jena
Between Friday afternoon and Monday morning, thieves took advantage of the non-working weekend at the construction site in the Jena district of Lobeda. A total of around 20 complete construction fence panels, along with their heavy bases, disappeared from Salvador-Allende-Platz.
Due to the significant weight and bulky dimensions of the stolen goods, the police firmly assume that the perpetrators must have used at least one large van or a comparable vehicle for transport. Furthermore, the removal of 20 fence panels requires a certain amount of time and is unlikely to have gone completely unnoticed in the residential area. According to initial estimates by investigators, the resulting damage amounts to approximately 4,000 Euro.
Police have secured evidence at the scene and initiated investigative proceedings. While there was a lot of activity at other locations over the weekend, such as the major construction site at Paradiesbahnhof, work at Salvador-Allende-Platz was completely suspended. Investigators are therefore hoping for relevant observations from residents or passers-by.
The police are asking for information regarding the following questions:
- Who observed suspicious persons or vehicles in the area of Salvador-Allende-Platz during the period of the crime?
- Who noticed unusual loading activities at the construction site?
- Who can provide information on the whereabouts of the approximately 20 stolen construction fences?
