The criminal police have already initiated investigations into suspected theft and trespassing and a permanent criminal service is in use to search for and secure evidence.

A future problem: burglary data and prevention

Break-ins seem to be a recurring problem. According to statistics from polizei-dein-partner.de The number of residential burglaries in Germany rose slightly by 0.8 percent to 78,436 cases in 2024. A total loss of 350 million euros was recorded - 20 million euros more than in the previous year. What is interesting is that the clearance rate is only 15.3 percent. So there is an urgent need for action!

The security technology and the behavior of the residents are crucial to preventing break-ins. Experts recommend always locking windows and doors completely and simulating presence when you are away. Despite the increased numbers of residential burglaries, statistics show that crime in service, office and storage rooms has fallen by 19.8 percent. A reason for hope, but there is still a lot to do.

These recent incidents remind us that burglary protection is not just a personal duty, but also a community concern. Every tip could be crucial in holding perpetrators accountable and preventing further break-ins.
