Around 300,000 bicycles were stolen in Germany last year, most of them in the city states. The thieves are becoming more and more brazen, as the detection rate is low. The damage amounts to hundreds of millions every year. Focus TV has taken a look around Germany's theft hotspots and accompanied the police specializing in bicycle theft in Hamburg. Do the officers find stolen bicycles during their checks at flea markets and on the road? Just in April they confiscated 1,800 bicycles in a sensational find in an industrial area of the Hanseatic city. Now they are looking for the rightful owners. The reporters also set a trap for thieves with a GPS-equipped bicycle: will a thief step in and the tracking device go off? The Focus TV report on the most popular means of transport for Germans in the sights of opportunistic thieves and organized crime. Nothing is more exciting than reality - reports on topics that affect Germany. Always critical and investigative, always close to the action! *************************************** ► Subscribe now for free: https://bit.ly/2KObHbZ ► More about Focus TV Reportage: https://bit.ly/2Iq8X1X *************************************** #focustv #reportage #documentary FOCUS TV Reportage shows real people, exciting stories and true emotions.
