Police Seek Leads After Stuhr Bank Heist Empties 14 Safe-Deposit Boxes

Investigators report only a handful of tips, urging residents to check surveillance recordings.

Overview

  • Police say tips remain scarce and ask residents and nearby motorists to share surveillance footage or observations from Friday midday.
  • Witness accounts point to up to three perpetrators in blue overalls who entered via a light shaft and likely fled in a black car.
  • The Volksbank branch reopened Monday, with access to safety‑deposit boxes expected to resume Wednesday after an accelerated security review.
  • The bank has informed the 14 affected renters and reached about 70% of other customers at a branch that houses more than 700 boxes.
  • Neither police nor the bank have disclosed what was taken, and customers are responsible for insuring box contents separately.
