Police Recover Cat Taken During Neighbors' Move to Saxony, Case Sent to Prosecutors

Prosecutors will now review the theft file against the 57-year-old ex-neighbor.

Overview

  • Staller disappeared in December when former neighbors moved from Füssen in Bavaria to Saxony, leading the 44-year-old owner to file a theft report in early January.
  • Police corroborated the suspicion, obtained a court warrant, and searched the ex-neighbors’ residence in Landkreis Bautzen.
  • During the search, a man attempted to release Staller over a terrace, but officers intervened in time and secured the cat.
  • Officers transported Staller about 600 kilometers back to the Allgäu, where he was reunited with companion cat Hubert.
  • Investigative work has concluded, and the file naming the 57-year-old woman as a theft suspect has been forwarded to the public prosecutor’s office.
