Burglary in Wettin-Löbejün: tools and e-bike stolen!

Last week a burglary was committed in Wettin-Löbejün, which left more than just a bad aftertaste for the affected residents. On July 1, a resident who had just returned from a hospital stay discovered that unknown perpetrators had broken into his property. Loud [Sachsen-Anhalt.de](https://www.sachsen-anhalt.de/bs/pressemitigungen/polizei?tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Baction%5D=single &tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Base&tx_tsarssinclude_pi1%5Buid%5D=581738&cHash=d502fb7c7d2537541464e1df44eb719c) The burglars had pried open the access door to the property and thus gained access to two outbuildings. Various tools, technical equipment and even an e-bike were stolen. The total damage amounts to a four-digit amount, which will certainly hit those affected hard.

What is particularly alarming is that such break-ins are often not the exception, but the rule. Statistics show that almost every second burglary fails because the perpetrators take too long to get into the house, as GDV reports. Effective burglary protection is therefore part of the basic equipment of every household. Mechanical solutions, such as burglar-resistant doors and windows, offer the best protection and should be a top priority. Electronic systems and alarm systems are also important, but hardly anything can do more than the right lock or the tested resistance class of a window.

Immediate measures and tips

The break-in in Wettin-Löbejün is not only a personal drama for those affected, but also raises the question of how one can arm oneself against such incidents. The legal framework for break-ins is clearly regulated. According to Fachanwalt.de, burglary is a serious theft that is punished with appropriate penalties. Of course, in the event of a break-in, the police should be called immediately. Photos of the damage are also helpful in creating a damage report, especially for insurance purposes.

Victims should always keep a list of stolen and damaged items. This means that the financial loss that many of those affected suffer can be compensated much later - provided they were not negligent, for example by leaving doors and windows unsecured.

Call to the population

The police in Wettin-Löbejün are currently securing evidence at the crime scene and are asking possible witnesses to come forward. Anyone who has made suspicious observations in the Domnitz area is asked to report to the authorities. Such clues could be crucial in finding the perpetrators and preventing further break-ins.

A final look at the Merseburg incident that took place on July 1st. Here a man was threatened by two young people in front of the train station and injured with a smashed beer bottle. This act also shows how important it is to be vigilant in our cities. The police have already arrested one of the accused and are continuing to investigate.

Protection against burglaries and violent crimes remains a challenge for society as a whole, and it is up to all of us to protect our neighborhoods and our own four walls.
