(jd) A woman from Herford was only out for a few hours yesterday (25.2.), but the period from 1.10 p.m. to 3.55 p.m. was enough for previously unknown suspects to break into the woman's apartment. When she returned to the apartment building in Johannisstraße, she saw that cupboards and drawers in various rooms had been ransacked. After an initial inspection, she discovered that several high-priced pieces of jewelry and cash had been stolen. The criminal investigation department has taken over the investigation and is asking possible witnesses who observed anything conspicuous in the Johannisstraße area yesterday afternoon to contact them on 05221/8880.
