Greiz police uncover huge series of burglaries in Weida!
On October 29, 2025, the Greiz police station became active and searched a single-family home and an associated property in Frießnitz. The aim of the operation was to take into custody two suspects who are accused of breaking into a former factory site in Weida. During this search, several hundred items were seized. The value of the loot found amounts to several thousand euros, as bild.de reports.
The suspects, two men aged 41 and 51, are said to have offered some of the stolen goods for sale online. This type of approach is no longer uncommon these days, and many burglars take advantage of the anonymity of the Internet. During the searches, the stolen items were seized and returned to the rightful owner on the same day, as presseportal.de reports.
Burglary crime is trending
Burglary crime remains an urgent issue in Germany. In 2024, the number of residential burglaries rose by 0.8 percent to 78,436 cases. However, the clearance rate for these crimes is only a disappointing 15.3 percent, which underlines the importance of preventive measures. [polizei-dein-partner.de](https://www.polizei-dein-partner.de/themen/verkehrssicherheit/privater-strassenverkehr/detailansicht-privater-strassenverkehr/artikel/ei nbruch-statistics.html?tx_web2pdf_pi1%5Baction%5D=&tx_web2pdf_pi1%5Bargument%5D=printPage&tx_web2pdf_pi1%5Bcontroller%5D=Pdf&cHash=9369efd1303b27cc350074f2b8f6d3f5) points out that the total damage caused by burglaries has increased to a total of 350 million euros and the average damage per burglary has increased to 3,800 euros.
What is particularly alarming is that, despite a decrease of 10 percent compared to 2019, the risk of burglary is still high. To better protect themselves, homeowners should take a few simple behavioral measures: Windows and doors should always be closed and fully locked. It can also be helpful to simulate being in the house when you are out and about.
In view of the current developments in Frießnitz, it remains to be seen how the police investigation will continue and whether the two suspects will be held accountable for their actions. The public is urged to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
