Theft of Mercedes-Benz Mirrors in Mainz-Oberstadt

In the Mainz-Oberstadt area, a string of thefts targeting Mercedes-Benz vehicles occurred during the night of September 29-30, 2025. At least five cars were vandalized, with thieves skillfully removing the side mirrors from these vehicles.

Among the affected models were the Mercedes-Benz Vito and C-Class, with additional parts, including fog lights, missing from two of the cars. The estimated total damage from these incidents is around EUR7,000.
