Three tractors in Rostock: GPS technology stolen at night!
The nighttime peace in Poppendorf, a small town in the Rostock district, was shattered by a brazen theft. Unknown perpetrators sneaked onto the premises of a farm in the dark and stole valuable GPS technology from three tractors. The damage caused by this amounts to at least 30,000 euros. This reports n-tv.
The employees were shocked to find the tractors open in the morning and quickly noticed that the navigation systems were no longer in place. This meant that the planned work could not be started as planned. The criminal police immediately began investigating and are now checking whether this is a particularly serious case of theft.
Theft in Agriculture: A Growing Problem
The incident in Poppendorf is part of a worrying development in agriculture. According to a recent study, there is an alarming increase in thefts in this sector. Many farmers have no confidence that police investigations will actually lead to the recovery of stolen goods, which results in not all thefts being reported. Reasons such as the high cost of reporting without insurance and the belief that results will not be achieved are common. This noted agricultural today.
Over 60 percent of the farmers surveyed are calling for increased police presence, for example through regular patrols, and would like to see tougher action against thefts. The expert who accompanied the study pointed out that the intensive examination of the topic during the surveys draws attention to the urgent problem.
The role of the police
Although many farmers are skeptical, the surveys overall show trust in the police. However, the expectations are clear: those affected want an improved response to cases of theft and active prevention. Farmers hope that the police will take necessary measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
How the situation will develop further and whether the investigations in Poppendorf will lead to a positive result remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: farmers not only need a good hand for their work, but also for protecting their property.
