Olpe - Odd animal theft in the Sauerland: criminals stole the entire population of a fish pond.
2500 rainbow trout, worth 40,000 euros are gone.

Wolfgang Weier (46) for EXPRESS: "In this pond, I had the biggest fish: salmon trout. They are averaging 65 inches tall and six pounds. "
The total value of the prey is around 40,000 euros. "In the other four ponds, which I possess, they have left the fish. They are there smaller and not so valuable. "
Matthias Giese Olpener by the police: "Because it had to move fast, there is some attention to the fact that the thieves have depleted the pond with a net."
Other investigators suspect: "You have to be driven directly to the water body with a truck. It was no easy task for them. Finally, the captured fish weighing nearly nine tons. Corresponding transport have had it with you here. So it was a long-planned action. "
The thieves escaped only one brown trout. The owners Wolfgang Weier sat in one of the other ponds.
Hope of seeing his fish ever, he has not: "I can not imagine that I will ever see which of my fish. So many strains have identified only a few of them survived. For two years I have this plant so much time and money I invested, and now everything is gone. "
