Since the beginning of January 2026, five expensive motorhomes have been stolen in Munich, suggesting possible organized crime. One of them, a Citroën Pössl worth about 50,000 euros, was stolen on the night of February 19 in the Moosach district.
Polish police arrested a 17-year-old Polish citizen without a driver's license who was trying to flee in the stolen vehicle. He ignored border control between the Czech Republic and Poland, after which police stopped the vehicle using spike strips in the town of Lubawka. The suspect attempted to flee on foot but was caught.
The motorhome had duplicate license plates from another vehicle registered in Germany. The vehicle has been seized and will be returned to its owner. The total damage from the series of thefts is estimated at 200,000 euros. The teenager faces up to five years in prison.
