Burglary in Stralsund: Police are urgently looking for witnesses to the theft of 11,000 euros!

Last week, a break-in at a butcher shop in Stralsund made headlines. The police are now looking for witnesses to solve the case. The incident occurred between Saturday afternoon, July 12th, at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoon, July 13th, around 1:30 p.m., in the area of ​​Rostocker Chaussee, not far from the Tribseer Center. Unknown perpetrators forced their way into the building and caused material damage of around 11,000 euros, as Ostsee-Zeitung reports.

Particularly bold: The burglars stole a safe that contained several thousand euros in cash. The criminal police have secured clues and have taken over the investigation to find the perpetrators. Witnesses who can provide information about the incident are asked to contact the Stralsund police on 03831/28900 or to describe their observations via the police online watchdog.

The current burglary situation in Germany

As [NDR](https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/mecklenburg-vorpommern/vorpommern/stralsund-11000-euro- Schaden-in-fleischfachgeschaeft,mvregiogreifswald-346.html) reports, the number of break-ins in Germany is increasing rapidly. This year alone there were over 100,000 burglaries in larger cities. An alarming trend that not only leads to increased material damage, but also to a feeling of insecurity among the population. Urban areas in particular are experiencing an increase of around 25% compared to 2020, further exacerbating the situation.

Innovations in the area of ​​security technology could help here. Technological developments such as facial recognition or intelligent door locks offer new approaches to preventing break-ins. Studies show that smart home systems are used in 70% of households, reducing break-in attempts by 15%. These technical solutions are not only limited to individual households, but also have a positive impact on neighborhood safety.

Community protection is required

The importance of a strong community should not be underestimated. Statistics show that 20% of burglaries are facilitated by psychological aspects such as impulsivity and that a lack of community ties doubles the risk of burglary. The police and security authorities are therefore calling on people to keep a close eye on their neighbors and the surrounding area. The digital networking of security measures could be the key to effectively combating these criminal developments.

Overall, the situation remains tense, and the break-in at the butcher shop in Stralsund shows once again how important preventive measures and witness-generating measures by the population are. So anyone who has observed something should report it - together we can strengthen the feeling of security in our city.
