According to reports from Germany's “Der Spiegel” weekly and Polish TV World News Network on December 1, the German Ministry of Defense confirmed to “Der Spiegel” weekly on the same day that about 20,000 rounds of ammunition belonging to the German Bundeswehr were stolen from a civilian truck. According to the report, the truck involved belongs to a civilian transport company that has signed a transportation contract with the German military. At the time of the incident, the truck was parked in a parking lot in an industrial area near the northeastern German town of Burg. The parking lot was unguarded, and the driver was resting at a nearby hotel. When the driver woke up the next morning, he found that the goods had been stolen, including about 10,000 live pistol rounds, 9,900 assault rifle training rounds, and hundreds of “smoke bombs.” The report mentioned that a German Ministry of Defense spokesman called the incident a “serious security breach” and stated that the relevant ammunition “must never fall into the hands of lawbreakers.” The department said that the civilian transport company involved failed to comply with safety regulations and left the truck carrying German Bundeswehr ammunition “unattended” during an “unplanned overnight stay.”
