Focus on burglaries

The increasing number of burglaries has caused concern in many places. According to Statista, a total of 119,000 thefts were recorded in 2023, including 77,800 residential burglaries. The increase in cases after the corona pandemic is particularly noticeable. These figures show that the issue of security and protection in one's own home is now very important to many people.https://de.statista.com/themen/2938/kritik-in-deutschland-wohnungeinbruchdiebstaehle/

The perpetrators' methods are varied and range from violent entry to trickery to unauthorized access using a key. The consequences of these break-ins are often not only material damage, but also a deep invasion of the privacy of those affected and a feeling of insecurity that lasts long after the incident.https://de.statista.com/themen/2938/kritik-in-deutschland-wohnungeinbruchdiebstaehle/

The search continues

The clearance rate for residential burglaries is of crucial importance for the current investigations. This was only 14.9% in 2023, which is worrying when compared to other crimes, which have an overall rate of 58.4%. The police are all the more required to actively search for those responsible and to improve the security situation in the affected areas.https://de.statista.com/themen/2938/kritik-in-deutschland-wohnungeinbruchdiebstaehle/

The recent events in Eberswalde and Wandlitz illustrate the need to be vigilant and show solidarity for safety in the neighborhoods. One should always be aware of the possibility that not all neighbors are well-disposed; in fact, it sometimes requires a radical change of perspective to realize that the opposite of hatred and resentment also means an active and responsible community.https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-opposite-of/hate.html

All in all, we can only hope that the police's intensive search will soon achieve success and that citizens will be able to lead a carefree life again, free from the constant fear of burglary and theft.
