Construction equipment stolen for 25,000 euros in Roßwein – police are investigating!

The police were also on duty in Central Saxony on September 3, 2025 and had to deal with various incidents. The theft of a piece of construction equipment in Roßwein, which was stolen between August 28th and September 2nd, was particularly striking. The perpetrators were after a demolition sorting grab worth around 25,000 euros that was standing at a construction site on Roßweiner Straße. Fortunately, there was no material damage, as reported by Sächsische.de, but this incident still raises questions about safety on construction sites in the region.

Crime in Germany is a topic that always causes discussions. According to Statista, there were around 5.63 million recorded crimes in Germany in 2022, which means an increase in thefts compared to previous years. This trend and the increasing number of thefts, especially in North Rhine-Westphalia, where over 23,500 residential burglaries were recorded, show that the issue of security has far-reaching effects.

Online vigilance and reporting options

The Internet now offers an easy way to report crimes. The Police Online Watch enables citizens to report not only general information but also thefts and other suspected cases easily from home. Various categories such as fraud, damage to property and hate on the internet are included. The messages are transmitted in accordance with data protection regulations and encrypted, which ensures the security of the users.

The clearance rate for a wide variety of offenses is also a decisive factor. The clearance rate for residential burglaries in 2022 was only 16.1% and for vehicle thefts it was 31.1%. In comparison, robbery crimes were solved comparatively better with a clearance rate of almost 60%. This underlines the importance of preventative measures and the active participation of the population.

Recent developments in crime cast a shadow on people's subjective sense of security. Here are some of the most relevant numbers from 2022:

• Erfasste Diebstähle: 1,78 Millionen
