Snipers Using New Cars As Target Practice On German Highways
Wiesbaden, Germany (AHN) – German police report that one or more unknown snipers have been shooting into new cars that are being transported. Law enforcement officials reveal that the incidents have been occurring on transporters throughout Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Between July 2008 and now German police have identified 225 incidents in their country alone. Thankfully no one has been injured in the shooting.
Investigators say there appears to be no pattern to the attacks and they are also left wondering what caliber of weapon is being employed in the attacks. Most of the shootings damage the doors and windows of vehicles being transported on German highways. Detectives working on the case are also unsure if there is one shooter or multiple.
In published reports an investigator is quoted as saying, “All the cars that have been hit are brand new, but there is no recognizable preference for a particular brand, style or value.”
German authorities have enlisted the help of other countries in their hunt for those responsible.
The damage to the vehicles isn’t noticed until truck drivers begin unloading their cargo off the transporters. However at that time it is far too late to recall when or if they heard noises which could have been a gun discharge or damage to the vehicles.
