Later that same day, a bar at Sielminger Rathausplatz in Filderstadt was burglarized in the early morning hours. The extent of property damage and the value of the stolen goods are not yet determinable. The Filderstadt police station has taken up the investigation.

The Albstadt-Tailfingen police post has initiated investigations into the cable theft.
In a separate incident on Tuesday morning, a traffic accident occurred on the Reutlinger Straße in Tübingen, causing approximately €18,000 in damage.
