Burglary in Wolmirstedt: Witnesses wanted after failed safe robbery!
In the early morning of August 23, 2025, a remarkable break-in was promised in Wolmirstedt. At 5:15 a.m., unknown perpetrators violently broke into a home furnishings store on Rogätzer Straße. The burglars failed in their attempt to blow up a safe with a pyrotechnic product. The police are asking the public for information about this incident. Witnesses can call 03904 / 4780 or contact the electronic police station to help the investigators and perhaps provide a good deal of information.
Another event that concerns us in the early hours of today concerns a fire in Hundisburg. There was a fire on the balcony of an apartment building on Main Street at 12:20 a.m. An alert 35-year-old tenant noticed a bang and looked around, only to discover furniture on fire. He immediately began extinguishing the fire until the fire department arrived and quickly extinguished the fire. The damage caused is estimated to be in the mid four-digit range and the investigation into the cause of the fire is still ongoing.
Causes of fire and safety precautions
The nationwide fire cause statistics from the Institute for Loss Prevention and Loss Research of Public Insurers (IFS) show that around 2,000 fire cause investigations were carried out annually between 2015 and 2024. These fires often cause significant damage to buildings. The latest analysis shows that electricity and human error are the most common causes of fires, while the number of fires caused by batteries is steadily increasing. This development can be attributed to the increasing popularity of battery-powered devices. Further information about the IFS statistics can be found on their website, where those interested can view the data.
Particular attention should be paid to the safe handling of pyrotechnic objects and explosive substances. There are a variety of rules and regulations for this that can be viewed on websites such as www.baua.de. These include, among other things, requirements for safety during blasting work and when handling explosive substances. The technical regulations not only protect employees in the relevant professions, but also contribute to the prevention of dangers in public.
Traffic offenses in Uhrsleben
Another incident occurred on August 22nd in Uhrsleben, where a 42-year-old driver was checked. During the check it turned out that she was under the influence of intoxicants and was also banned from driving. The police then initiated an investigation into charges of driving without a license and under the influence of intoxicants. Such incidents reinforce the need to make roads safer and encourage responsible driving.
