In the night of 27.12.2022 unknown perpetrators gained access to the photovoltaic park under construction. For this purpose, they cut through the fence and sabotaged the presumably temporary video surveillance. They then carried off solar modules worth around EUR 13,000. It is now being investigated whether there may be usable recordings despite the damage to the video system.

Unknown perpetrators entered the premises of the photovoltaic park in Bürstadt/Hesse through the previously damaged fence and cut countless insulated cables in the further course. According to initial estimates, several kilometers of copper cables were involved. The loot amounted to only several thousand euros while the damage to the photovoltaic plant totaled approximately 200,000 EUR.

Thieves have removed a complete solar roof installation with 96 solar panels in a nocturnal action in Bad Deutsch-Altenbrug/Lower Austria. They forcibly opened the barrier system of the agricultural property and dismantled the 96 panels with a total area of about 190 square meters in starry night. It is assumed that the crime was very well planned. The damage amounts to approx. 20,000 EUR

Unknown perpetrators gained access to the photovoltaic plant by forcing open a side entrance gate locked with a security chain. They then unscrewed a total of 64 inverters and transported them away. The damage amounts to 128,000 EUR.

The thieves surmounted the fence in the night from Thursday to Friday, dismantled solar panels and transported them away with a presumably larger vehicle. The damage amounts to several tens of thousands of euros.

Between Friday and Saturday 18 to 19.11.2022 thieves struck at the solar park Ehndorf. The perpetrators drove from the main road to close to the PV Park and cut open the fence.
They opened the pallets with solar modules provided for installation and loaded 186 of the panels stored on them. The amount of damage is about 37,000 EUR.

Several perpetrators forced their way into the Amberg solar park in Unterallgaeu from a service road that runs along the solar park during the night from Thursday to Friday. To do so, they forcibly opened the fence at several points. They then cut the relevant cables with tools they had brought with them and moved the inverters to a vehicle provided. The Memmingen police assume that at least three perpetrators were involved. The theft damage amounts to several 10,000 EUR; the total damage due to property damage and failure of the plant cannot yet be quantified.

In the late evening hours of October 27, the theft of solar cables occurred at the Hardegsen solar farm. The unknown perpetrator or perpetrators entered the premises of the solar farm and stole the cables worth about 10,000 EUR.

Only shortly after the theft of solar modules on the solar farm Malchin (Mecklenburg Lake District), perpetrators have struck again. In the night to Monday, unknown persons broke into the solar farm Wrangelsburg (Vorpommern-Greifswald) over the fence and dismantled several inverters within a quarter of an hour. The damage amounts to approximately 30,000 EUR.

During the night from Saturday to Sunday, unknown perpetrators forced their way into the solar farm and dismantled 60 solar modules. The removal took place with a vehicle. The amount of damage is about 12,000 EUR.
