At the beginning of November 2023, several bikes and e-bikes were stolen from a bicycle storage room in a residential complex in Unterägeri. One of these bikes contained a tracker whose signal could be located in a municipality in the canton of Zurich. Subsequently, officers from the Zurich cantonal police managed to arrest three men who were in the process of transferring bicycle parts and newly packed bicycles from a delivery van into a car. The three men were transferred to Zug on behalf of the public prosecutor's office of the canton of Zug.

As one of the arrested men was able to prove that he was not involved in the theft, he was released from custody. The other two men, two Romanian nationals aged 28 and 32, were remanded in custody on urgent suspicion. Further investigations carried out by the public prosecutor's office of the Canton of Zug and the Zug police revealed that the two men and another accomplice rode to Unterägeri on the evening of November 6, 2023, where they stole a total of ten e-bikes and bikes worth around CHF 43,000 from a two-wheeler storage room in an apartment building and transported them away. They then deposited some of these two-wheelers in a wooded area in Unterägeri and on the Ratenpass.

In the days that followed and up until their arrest by Zurich cantonal police officers on November 9, 2023, the perpetrators dismantled the stolen bicycles into individual parts, affixed new frame numbers and packed the dismantled two-wheelers into bags. The men also created forged documents for these bicycles.

The two-wheelers deposited in a wooded area in Unterägeri and on the Ratenpass were found and recovered in the days that followed. This was thanks to an attentive private individual and information provided by one of those arrested.

After the investigation was completed, the two Romanian nationals were sentenced to a fine of several thousand francs each by the public prosecutor's office of the Canton of Zug after 85 days in custody for receiving stolen goods and attempted receiving stolen goods. The investigation into the third person involved, who forced his way into the storage room, pushed the two-wheelers outside and gave instructions to his two accomplices, is still ongoing.
