Tire thieves strike at goods: 20,000 euros worth of damage to the car dealership!
A brazen theft caused a stir in Waren an der Müritz in the early hours of October 24, 2025. Unknown perpetrators broke into a car dealership on Teterower Strasse and stole several sets of tires. The total damage is estimated at around 20,000 euros. According to mueritzportal.de, this could be a targeted attack, as the thieves probably used at least one van to transport the tires.
The crime took place on the night of Wednesday to Thursday and it is assumed that the perpetrators had enough time to load the sets of tires undisturbed. This assumption is supported by the unusual nature of the process, which neighbors or passers-by may have noticed. The Waren police are therefore asking for any relevant information about the suspected perpetrators or suspicious observations. Information can be given by telephone on 03991 / 1760 or via the online watch.
Thefts of tire sets on the rise
Unfortunately, the time to change tires not only brings with it the first frosty days, but also an increased number of thefts of sets of winter tires. As news.de reports, this incident in Waren is not an isolated case. The increasing demand for winter tires, coupled with reduced visibility in the darker evening hours in October, makes it particularly easy for perpetrators to strike unnoticed.
The theft statistics speak for themselves. In 2023, a total of 14,162 comprehensively insured cars were stolen in Germany, resulting in a huge total loss of 293 million euros, as adac.de explains. High-quality models such as SUVs and upper mid-range vehicles, which are extremely popular with car thieves, are particularly popular. Cases like these show once again how important preventative measures are to protect vehicle owners.
The police appeal to everyone affected to act quickly if they see anything suspicious and to support the investigators. In times when wind and weather often threaten outside security and your own property, attention is required.
What remains is the hope that the perpetrators can be caught quickly and the tire sets can be recovered. The criminal police are staying on the ball and have started investigations in order to clear up the incident as quickly as possible.
