German Army Ammo Theft: 10,000 Rounds Stolen from Civilian Truck
On Tuesday, November 25, thousands of rounds of ammunition were stolen from a civilian delivery truck en route to a Bundeswehr barracks in Burg, Saxony-Anhalt. The ammunition, including live pistol rounds and training rounds for assault rifles, went missing after the driver made an unplanned overnight stop at a hotel. The German Defense Ministry has placed blame on the driver for the unsecured stop, violating the contract requiring secure cargo transport. Local police and the Bundeswehr are now investigating the theft, with suspicions leaning towards a targeted operation.
