Construction site thieves caught red-handed
Two Romanians are said to have stolen material from several construction sites in the Graz and Leibnitz area since February. They were caught red-handed in Leibnitz on Saturday. Total loss: around 50,000 euros.
The evidence is quite clear: 100 formwork panels and two excavator shovels were found by officers from the road crime task force (EGS) in the van of a 49-year-old man on Saturday morning. The police caught the Romanian and his 30-year-old accomplice red-handed on a building site in Leibnitz at around four o'clock.
This coup was probably not the only one: according to the provincial police headquarters, at least seven other construction site thefts in Graz, Graz-Umgebung and Leibnitz can be attributed to the duo. They were mainly after scaffolding and formwork panels.
The men partially confessed and stated that they had taken the stolen goods directly to Romania after the crimes and sold them there. The total loss is likely to be around 50,000 euros.
The Romanians were taken to Graz-Jakomini prison by order of the Graz public prosecutor's office.
