The Night of Flames: Fires in Oschersleben cause excitement!
In Wanzleben, a VW Sharan was stolen on November 7th, 2025, while the owner had parked the vehicle on November 5th. The car was locked, which makes the circumstances surrounding the theft all the more mysterious. The police ask for any relevant information on 03904 / 478-0. This incident is part of the increasing number of vehicle thefts, which, according to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), have remained at a similar level for years. While there was a decline in 2019 and 2020, in 2021 the number was almost at its previous level, especially in eastern federal states and the city states of Berlin and Hamburg. The perpetrators are often well organized and use advanced techniques to steal vehicles. Prevention tips, such as storing vehicle keys in protective cases or aluminum cans, are extremely helpful in protecting yourself.
The police also reported a break-in at a single-family home in Klein Rodensleben on the same day. The perpetrators had forced entry through a cellar door between 5:30 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. and stole jewelry, technical equipment and cash. Information on this is also requested at the telephone number mentioned.
