GPS tracking leads police to motorhome thief in Luebeck

On August 7, 2026, a motorhome was stolen from Willy-Brandt-Allee in Luebeck. The owner used a GPS tracking system to locate the vehicle, and police found it and a suspect on Isaac-Newton-Strasse. The 49-year-old suspect was inside the motorhome and showed signs of drug and alcohol use, leading to a blood test.
