Burglars rage in Sommersdorf: 2,500 euros in loot! Police are looking for witnesses!

Reports of burglaries from the Haldensleben area create an uneasy atmosphere. On July 2, 2025, two break-ins were reported in the region. The Haldensleben police currently have no information about the perpetrators, which is why the officers urgently need witnesses.

The first incident occurred between June 28th at 9:20 a.m. and July 1st at 8:45 p.m. in a single-family home on Lindenstrasse in Sommersdorf. Here the unknown perpetrators managed to force open a balcony window. Jewelry and cash with a total value of 2,500 euros were stolen. The police have already responded by searching for and securing evidence on site. Witnesses who observed something are asked to call 03904/478-0 to provide potentially crucial information.

Theft of diesel

Another incident was reported on Feldstrasse in Ausleben. Here, between June 30th at 4:00 p.m. and July 1st at 6:30 a.m., the tank cap of a truck was forcibly opened. An incredible 480 liters of diesel worth around 130 euros were stolen. Here too, investigators from the Haldensleben police are asking for information at the same telephone number. Such offenses are not only annoying for the owners concerned, but also shed light on the risks associated with inadequate security measures.

Statistics and prevention

According to a comprehensive analysis, break-ins often occur because perpetrators take too long to gain access to the house. Almost every second burglary fails for this reason. Therefore, homeowners should address the weak points of their buildings. Mechanical security on windows and doors is the most important measure against break-ins. If you want to have a good feeling for the security of your own home, you should check whether your windows and doors meet at least resistance class RC 2. [gdv.de informs that…]

Alarm systems and security locks are certainly useful additions, but they do not offer 100% protection. Ultimately, burglary is defined as unauthorized entry into a restricted area, requiring entry by force. A distinction is made between different types of theft, with burglary usually being considered a more serious case. [fachanwalt.de explains that…]

Whatever the case, the criminal police advice is clear: Anyone who falls victim to a burglary should inform the police immediately and compile a list of all stolen and damaged items. This information is crucial for further processing and possible insurance claims. In the event of a break-in, even seemingly small errors, such as tilted windows, should not be ignored, as these can cost insurance in the event of damage.

The Haldensleben police appeal to citizens to be vigilant and pass on information about potentially suspicious activities, because together we can ensure greater security in the region.
