Brazen theft on construction site: Connection to football celebrations suspected!

In Oberteisendorf, the construction site crime beats alarming waves. Between Friday, June 6, 1 p.m. and Tuesday, June 10th, 8 a.m., there was a brazen theft on a construction site at Traunsteiner Straße 14, right next to the soccer field. A total of two traffic signs, a nissing light and a large wire linen were stolen. The estimated value of this prey is in the middle three -digit range, which indicates a targeted action that may be related to the celebrations around the relegation game between ASV Piding and SG overseas/Grassau on June 7th [PNP] (https://www.pnp.de/lokales/landkreis-berchtesgadener-land/diebe-auf-beast-maang-mit-relegationenspiel-piding- towards-uebersee-grassau-1884724) and and Bgland24 report.

The Freilassing police inspection has already started an investigation and calls witnesses to report. People who have information about the incident can report on 08654/46180. The feeling of security in the region could be severely affected here, because as a current study by Bauwatch shows, construction sites that often remain unguarded have suffered from theft in recent years.

construction site crime on the advance

According to the Bauwatch study from 2024, two thirds of those surveyed report construction site managers of increased crime. Almost 80 % state that thefts occur on their construction sites at least once a year. This trend is now obvious in Oberteisendorf, since thieves in the region apparently take the opportunity to use unsecured construction sites. Besonders Motorräder und teure Maschinen haben es den kriminellen Handschuhträgern angetan, während Kabel und Kupfer die beliebtesten Beutestücke sind, so die Umfrage unter 500 Baustellenleitern.

The social effects are considerable: a number of construction projects are in arrears, and construction companies with a lot of financial damage are not uncommon. Klaus Maskort, Managing Director of Bauwatch, emphasizes how important a multi -stage security concept is to counteract such incidents. This includes not only the visibility of security measures, but also better illumination and training for employees - to everything that can counteract an uninvited visit.

It shows that Obertisendorf is not alone with its problems. Construction sites throughout Germany are caught in the dilemma of crime, with annual losses of over 80 million euros in the construction industry. These figures should not only be a warning for construction companies, but also for the general public.
