Burglaries in the Prignitz: perpetrators on the run by valuables!

In the days from June 20 to 23, 2025, there were several burglaries in single -family houses in the Prignitz. The inner cities are no longer the only hotspots for crime - perpetrators are also spreading in more rural areas. The first break -in took place in a single -family house in Roddan, Dorfstraße, where the burglars gave access via a window. In this case, all rooms were ransacked, whereby valuables were stolen. The amount of damage has not yet been quantified. Criminal technicians secured traces at the scene of the crime, which could be important for a possible later clarification. According to Nordkurier there are still no specific indications of the perpetrators.

The second slump occurred on June 23 in a family home in Vehlow, Bahnhofstrasse, between 12.30 p.m. and 11 p.m. Here, too, the perpetrators came through a window into the house. This time, cash and jewelry fell into the hands of the burglars, while the total damage is estimated at around 1,500 euros. Police officers also secured DNA traces at the scene of the crime, which is a significant progress in investigative technology today. Police spokesman Joachim Lemmel stated that there is currently no evidence of a connection between the two burglaries, but an examination is underway.

The role of DNA analysis

The secured DNA traces could be crucial for the clarification of the acts. As reports [BKA] (https://www.bka.de/de/unsereuflagen/ermittlungs- Unterstugung/kriminaltechnik/dnaanalytik/dnaanalytik_node.html), it is possible to analyze even small amounts of biological material such as saliva or skin particle and to be assigned to a person. The DNA, the genetic material in each cell (except the red blood cells), consists of a unique pattern that can be compared with the DNA profile of a comparison person or in databases. The procedure for DNA analysis is based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which makes it possible to reproduce small amounts of DNA to make them visible.

With the DNA analysis, one is one of the more advanced investigative methods that are used not only for the most serious crimes, but also for property offenses. According to [Krimpedia] (https://www.crimpedia.de/dna- analysis), no genetic features are examined during the analysis; The analysis focuses on non -encoding areas of the DNA. Such an approach has proven itself nationwide, and the results are increasingly being used in legal proceedings.
