200 catfish, 40 sturgeons have disappeared from a pond in Upper Franconia. It is not clear whether the thieves were people with landing nets or otters.
The animals are said to have been often responsible for the lack of fish in the region recently. Just a few weeks ago, unknown persons stole 80 goldfish from a garden pond in Bavaria while the owner was on vacation. However, the man found three days after the discovery of the theft that all the animals swam safely back in the pond.
