The theft occurred on Neukölln’s Donaustraße, a police spokesperson said. The customs investigators’ unmarked vehicle was locked, yet the perpetrators managed to access the bag. It contained private and official items. Police are now investigating for aggravated theft.

On Friday evening, police, customs, the public order office, and other authorities deployed for a joint operation. Wegner was also present, as the Senate Chancellery announced on platform X. The forces checked late-night shops, shisha bars, bars, and arcades, seizing untaxed tobacco, slot machines, and drugs.
