Attempted break-in at Stadtsparkasse Dessau: men escape undetected!
Last night, July 5th, an attempted break-in into the foyer of the Stadtsparkasse Dessau caused a stir. The bank's alarm went off at 1:30 a.m. and the police quickly responded. On site, the officers met a 22-year-old passer-by who had observed the situation. He reported that he saw two to three men forcefully push open the electronically locked main entrance door and force their way into the bank's foyer. Fortunately, the burglars were unable to get into the rooms behind and disappeared in an unknown direction without causing any significant damage, as [mz.de](https://www.mz.de/lokal/dessau-rosslau/einbruchsalarm-bei-der-stadtsparkasse-dessau-ausgelost-unknown-manner- Schiebe-tur-auf-4078551) reports.
The police have now initiated an investigation and have also carried out a forensic investigation on site. The police doctor has asked the public for help in obtaining any information about the fleeing perpetrators. No specific damage has been identified so far.
Burglary statistics on the rise
This incident is part of a worrying trend: According to current burglary statistics for 2025, there will be a 25% increase in burglaries compared to 2020. This type of crime is increasing, particularly in urban areas in Germany. Statistics show that over 100,000 burglaries are registered in major German cities every year.
However, technological advances could help here. AI-powered alarm systems have proven to be very effective and prevent burglars from breaking in 80% of the time. Social factors such as neighborhood ties and architectural design can also play a key role in reducing burglary rates, current data shows.
It's better to be safe than sorry
In this context, it is important to also provide information about other security risks. This is shown by another incident from May 2021, when an 85-year-old woman from Dessau fell victim to an attempted fraud. She received a call from an alleged savings bank director who wanted to give her counterfeit money.
