Robbery in Ahrensfelde: Perpetrators fled with expensive deodorants!
Recently, news from the region shows a worrying pattern of crimes affecting both the safety and well-being of citizens. One incident that caused a stir was a robbery in Ahrensfelde that occurred in May of this year. One evening on Landsberger Chaussee, the perpetrators collided with an unsuspecting visitor, which resulted in both of them falling to the ground. The witness sustained minor injuries while the perpetrators fled with a loot of high-quality deodorants. Police are asking witnesses to call 03338 3610 for further information. This is not the only incident that has caused excitement in the region. Barnim Aktuell reports on a serious accident involving a motorcyclist on September 28th, who was seriously injured in a failed maneuver.
But what about burglary crime? A look at the current statistics shows an alarming increase in home break-ins. In 2023, there were around 119,000 burglaries in Germany, of which 77,800 were classified as residential burglaries. This represents the highest level since 2019, although the numbers are still more than 50% lower compared to 2015. The risk of break-ins is particularly high in urban areas. Mülheim an der Ruhr recorded the highest rate with 283 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while Fürth had the lowest with 33 cases. The clearance rate for residential burglary is only 14.9% in 2023, the lowest level in years, as Statista shows.
Damage to property during a break-in
The legal framework surrounding residential burglary has recently been adjusted. The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) has decided that such offenses often result in damage to property, which was not always clearly regulated in the past. A distinction is made between unity of offense and majority of offenses, depending on whether a single act commits multiple crimes or multiple acts commit different crimes.
A crucial aspect is that break-ins are not always accompanied by damage. It often happens that perpetrators break in without causing substance injuries. The BGH argued that break-ins can also occur without causing damage and therefore a more comprehensive legal consideration makes sense. These complex aspects are intended to help improve the protection of citizens and promote the investigation of crimes, as Juracademy explains.
The latest developments in another case illustrate the general uncertainty: a break-in into a gazebo in Bernau on September 28th led to the theft of a drilling machine worth 200 euros. Such incidents add to the community's sense of insecurity, which is only exacerbated by rising crime rates. The criminal police have already started investigations.
In summary, the situation in the region remains tense. While police forces try to deal with the numerous incidents, it is important that citizens remain vigilant and take action if they suspect crime. Only together can we ensure that the feeling of security in the community is strengthened.
