Two men in Pirna trying to prevent theft of natural stones!
Today, September 25, 2025, there was an exciting development in the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district, more precisely in Pirna. An attempted theft was reported there, which took place at the site on Glashüttenstrasse. Two men, 41 and 47 years old, seemed to be after natural stone slabs and metal sheets, but the plan was quickly thwarted.
An attentive witness observed the two suspects loading their loot onto a trailer and immediately alerted the police. His quick reaction had an impact because the emergency services were able to detain the suspected thieves and begin the investigation. These are now running against the two Germans for attempted theft, like Sächsische.de reported.
Current crime situation in Saxony
While the attempted theft failed in Pirna, a look at the entire Saxony region shows that the crime rate varies. The Crime Atlas 2024 provides insights into recorded crime between 2020 and 2024 and forms the basis for important insights into local crime hotspots. This includes not only the larger cities such as Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz, but also their surrounding areas, which include some communities with city status. This information is based on the annual police crime statistics (PKS), which makes it possible to measure crime per 100,000 inhabitants, explains the Saxony Police.
In an international comparison or over the years, an exciting development can be observed: While in 2024 there was a decrease in the number of suspects in “simple shoplifting” targeting children and young people, there was at the same time an increase in reports of insults, threats and simple physical injuries. Children and young people in particular showed significant values here. The statistics show a 34.6 percent increase in violent crime among children and 16.5 percent among adolescents, reinforcing the impression that more community crimes are being committed. This information comes from MDR.
In summary, it can be said that the security situation in Saxony offers many facets, but the quick reaction of passers-by and the attentive work of the police are crucial to effectively counteract crimes like the one in Pirna. The reports show that prevention and willingness to cooperate play an important role among the population.
