Düren - Unknown persons steal fir trees from Christmas tree plantation
The operator of a Christmas tree plantation has had to experience a very pleasant surprise: Two strangers sawed two fir trees from her field in Aldenhoven, North Rhine-Westphalia, and took them away. According to the Düren police, the two perpetrators got onto the site via a fence early on Sunday morning and cut down the trees using a chainsaw.
Because the two thieves were anything but discreet and obviously "in a festive mood", they quickly drew the attention of the plantation operator, said a spokesperson for the Düren police. Nevertheless, the Christmas tree thieves managed to flee the scene of the crime in a car together with the almost two-meter-high fir trees.
The police are now investigating the two strangers and are asking for "relevant information about suspicious persons, vehicles or Christmas trees".
