Sassenberg-Füchtorf. Donated Christmas trees stolen - Further information requested

Christmas trees bring a lot of joy during the holiday season, but they often also bring work in the new year. Many aid organizations, groups, and volunteers come together to collect the discarded and dry Christmas trees throughout the district, relieving the former owners of the task of disposal - often in exchange for a small donation.

In Sassenberg-Füchtorf, for example, these donations were attached to the trees in envelopes or with ribbons, which the rural youth collected last weekend.

However, several witnesses observed on Saturday (11.01.2025) between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm in the streets Am Wiesengrund, Ströätken and Aanepool, how unknown perpetrators in a white delivery van collected these donations and fled.

The driver of the delivery van is described as follows: approximately 50 years old, dark hair, 1.70 meters tall, slim build, Eastern European phenotype.

The passenger is described as follows: approximately 45 years old, dark hair, 1.70 meters tall, slim build, Eastern European phenotype. There is supposed to have been a child in the car as well.

Who can provide information about the unknown thieves, has observed them themselves or noticed a similar incident? This type of theft has been reported sporadically in other cities and municipalities in recent years.
