Break-ins at Mercedes Plant and Local Companies: Police Investigating

Over the weekend, an unknown group of perpetrators broke into the Mercedes plant in Rastatt's Mercedesstraße. The police are seeking witnesses to this incident and ask them to contact the Rastatt police station.

The break-in occurred between 1:30 AM and 4:00 AM on Saturday. The perpetrators used a vehicle to load stolen parts, most likely wheels and other vehicle components, from five new cars. However, the exact value of the stolen parts from the Mercedes plant is not specified in the article.

This break-in is part of a series of break-ins at five companies in the Iffezheim industrial area the same weekend. About a week earlier, two truckloads of cosmetics and advent calendars were stolen from L'Oréal's logistics center in Muggensturm, causing at least €400,000 in damages.

As of now, there are no direct publicly reported connections between the burglaries at the Mercedes factory in Rastatt, the series of break-ins in the Iffezheim industrial area, and the burglary at L'Oréal in Muggensturm. Investigations appear separate, and no suspects or links between these incidents have been disclosed.

The police are assuming a connection in the series of break-ins at companies in Iffezheim. The investigation into these cases is ongoing. Similarly, the police investigation into the break-in at the Mercedes plant is ongoing. The police have not responded to a request from the editorial team regarding a possible connection between the incidents.

A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson declined to comment on the break-in at their plant. The police have not yet confirmed if there is a link between the break-in at the Mercedes plant and the other two cases. The connection between the incidents at the Mercedes plant and the other cases is still unknown.

It's worth noting that a complete new set of wheels for a Mercedes can cost at least €1,000, depending on the equipment line. The value of the stolen parts from the Mercedes plant is likely high due to the cost of a complete new set of wheels. The exact extent of the damage is not yet known due to the high number of affected vehicles and complex trace evidence.

A transporter for transportation was presumably parked at the intersection of Ottersdorfer Straße/Friedrichstraße on a bike path. The police are urging anyone with information about these incidents to come forward and contact the Rastatt police station.
