Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Diesel theft: Employees catch a colleague

Torgelow (dpa / mv) - After repeated diesel thefts in a bus company in Torgelow (Vorpommern-Greifswald district), employees lay in wait - and caught one of their colleagues in the act late on Friday evening. The 58-year-old had already tapped 25 liters from a bus when the employees discovered what he was doing, the police said on Saturday. The officers who were summoned recorded a complaint and secured the tools used in the crime - a hose and a cordless screwdriver with a pump. It is therefore still unclear whether the man is also responsible for the other diesel thefts in the past two years.
