Burglary in beverage market: cash from Braunlage stolen!

In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, a beverage market in Braunlage was the target of a brazen burglary. Like regionalheute.de reports unknown perpetrators in the building on the street Am Brandhai and presumably presumably steal cash from the office. The perpetrators were able to escape undetected and the Goslar criminal police started the investigation. Witnesses who have seen or heard are asked to report to the police in Goslar on 05520 93260 with the police in Braunlage or under 05321 3390.

Such an incident throws a shadow light on the general security situation in Germany. According to presseportal.de , the number of break -ins has increased in recent years. Around 119,000 thefts were registered in 2023, including about 77,800 burglaries. This is the highest level since 2019, but still over 50% lower than 2015.

The background of the increase

As the statistics prove, the risk of burglaries is particularly high in urban federal states such as Bremen, Berlin and Hamburg, while it is significantly lower in rural areas such as Bavaria. In 2023, the highest burglary rate was 283 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Mülheim an der Ruhr, while Fürth at the lower end is only 33 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. A worrying trend is also the high proportion of foreign suspect, which is 42.9%.

However, a break -in does not only have material consequences; He can also severely affect the feeling of security of those affected. Many victims report on mental consequences and a loss of trust in their own security. Statista describes an entire spectrum of types of burglary that ranges from violent ingredients to the unauthorized access with a key.

Investigations and prevention options

The investigation in the current case is now in full swing. The police encourage citizens to be attentive and to report suspected shimmer in good time. "Every hint can help," said a police spokesman. Especially during the holiday season, business owners and residents should pay more attention to securing their premises.

Overall, it can be seen that despite the rising figures on burglaries, the information rate drops. The clearance rate for burglaries was only 14.9% in 2023, while the overall quota of all crimes was 58.4%. This illustrates the need to take increased measures to combat crime and prevention.

Hopefully the break in Braunlage will remain an isolated case and can be quickly informed so that those affected will soon be able to return to their usual everyday life.
