Oberreg.- Rat Dr. G i e s in P r a g IV, Czerninpalais Subject: Theft 1 box containing 27 kg explosives Brand "Gelatine Donarit". Procedure_: There.Erl.StS V G - 1l /42 v.30.4.42 u.hies.Daily v.15.4.42 The extensive investigation measures initiated by the German Criminal Police, the Kl a d n o criminal police department - immediately after being aware of the theft - have not so far led to the investigation of the perpetrators or the creation of the stolen explosives. Evidence, by which certain persons are burdened, could not yet be obtained, although a larger group of persons are checked and already with over 600 persons house searches are carried out. From the fact that the perpetrator also took food and threw the explosive box from the wagon to the ground, where it went partly in ruins, it is likely to be concluded that the thief has stolen the box without knowing the actual contents. It is therefore not assumed that political motives have led the perp to commit the theft. For this reason, the secret State Police 43 Zei office in Kladno-, has not been actively involved in the investigation, but it is kept informed of the measures taken.
