Burglary Bungle at Hamburger Sparkasse HQ
The Hamm outpost of Hamburger Sparkasse took a hit last week when burglars made off with a hefty stash. Police are seeking any info from individuals who may have witnessed the crime, which unfolded at the savings bank branch on a late Thursday afternoon. The blokes in masks managed to slip into the premises undetected, only to cross paths with a 61-year-old employee and a customer aged similarly. Both spooked by the intruders, they hightailed it and called the cops. The criminals made their getaway with the loot and a slick dark SUV tucked away in the underground garage. If you were in the area during that time, police urge you to contact them with any information you might have.
The burglars didn't just leave with a fat wallet – the financial impact of the incident likely stings pretty bad. Folks who were in the area around Hamburger Sparkasse after four PM on Thursday are encouraged to come forward with any helpful details.
