An alleged forwarding company stole four truck deliveries with more than 800 bicycles in Regensburg.

The damage is high.

Regensburg - Four truck deliveries with more than 800 bicycles worth a total of 1.6 million euros have apparently been stolen from a manufacturer from the Upper Palatinate.

Regensburg: "phantom company" steals bicycles worth 1.6 million euros

A supposed forwarding company had initially carried out several transports on behalf of the manufacturer without any complaints.

The police announced on Tuesday (June 14).

Then, however, four deliveries with more than 800 bicycles disappeared - and also the now suspect forwarding company.

This was obviously a “phantom company” that was founded purely “for the purpose of committing a crime”, the police said.

This "phantom company" no longer exists, the contact has been lost.

The bicycle manufacturer reported the incidents back in April, it said.

The Kripo in Weiden in der Oberpfalz has taken over investigations into suspected fraud.

There have been similar cases across Europe in which the “phantom company” is said to have been involved.
