Horror slump in Kötzschau: Woman is passed out!

In a worrying incident on Monday in Kötzschau, Leuna, two unknown people became violent when they tried to break into a family home. The perpetrators exceeded the fence of the property in Schkeuditzer Straße around 1.30 p.m. and beat a resident on the head with an object, so that she temporarily lost consciousness. This shocking attack caused the woman to be hospitalized, while the perpetrators took the opportunity to search the house for valuables. Initial investigations by the police open whether something was actually stolen. An intensive search with a tracking dog is already underway, but the burglars were able to escape undetected.

The local police authority has already secured the first traces and asked neighbors in the hope of relevant information. All witnesses are asked to report on 0345/224-1291, in particular people who could have noticed suspicious vehicles or people. The campaign caused great discomfort in the community, since such violent offenses significantly impair the security of residents.

burglary numbers add

Statistics there were a total of 77,819 burglaries in 2023, which represents a shocking increase of 18 percent compared to the previous year. On average, around 213 burglaries take place every day, which do not only cause material but also mental damage for the residents. The average damage per slump is 3,500 euros, which makes prevention an increasingly urgent matter.

The increasing numbers clearly show that burglaries have increased significantly, especially in large cities, while rural regions seem relatively calmer. North Rhine-Westphalia has a particularly high burglary, with a rate of 98 burglaries per 100,000 inhabitants. Interestingly, 47 percent of the attempts at burglary remain unsuccessful, mostly due to mechanical safety precautions, which shows how important preventive measures are.

Security is going on

In view of these alarming trends, the police have already pointed out the need for security consultations. Measures such as structural, mechanical and electronic security solutions can be crucial to prevent burglaries and strengthen the feeling of security in the community. The conscious anchoring of security precautions is not only advisable, but in the current situation almost essential.

The incident in Kötzschau is a sad example of a development that worries many citizens. It is all the more important to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activities to the police immediately to prevent future incidents of this kind.
