Theft of a Harley-Davidson in Böblingen

Police light with “police messages” for Harley and motorcycle safety.

On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, a previously unknown offender stole a motorcycle in Böblingen. The man pretended to want to take a test ride in a store and took advantage of a moment of inattention to steal the motorcycle with a yellow Harley-Davidson Street Bob 114 worth over 20,000 euros. The perpetrator, around 30 years old and 170 cm tall, was wearing sunglasses and a hooded sweatshirt. Three other men were involved in the incident.

On Saturday, October 26, 2024, a witness noticed a yellow motorcycle on the Bundesstraße 28 near Bad Urach that had been reported stolen. The witness informed the police, whereupon several patrol cars from the Reutlingen and Ulm police headquarters and a police helicopter pursued the rider and the motorcycle. The motorcyclist initially escaped as he was traveling at a very high speed. At around 4.45 pm, the suspect was finally discovered on foot in Bad Urach-Wittlingen.

Arrest of the suspect in Bad Urach

The police arrested the 31-year-old, who initially tried to identify himself with false personal details, and took him to Metzingen police station. The stolen motorcycle was discovered near a kindergarten in Wittlingen, together with a hidden helmet, clothing and the keys to the vehicle. The Harley-Davidson was seized and towed away. The suspect, who is facing charges of particularly serious theft, was provisionally released after the police had completed their investigations. The motorcycle will be returned to its rightful owner after forensic examination while the investigation continues.
