Burglaries: A growing problem

The incident comes at a time when burglaries in Germany are increasing again. According to the current police crime statistics (PKS), there were 78,436 burglaries and attempts at burglary in 2024, which is a slight increase compared to the previous year. In 2023 the number was still 77,819 cases. Interestingly, 2024 was only 15.3 percent, which shows how difficult it is for the authorities to solve these crimes. Many burglars get away with their deeds with their deeds, since 46.3 percent of the attempts at burglary failed without a complete slump.

It is particularly worrying that 27.1 percent of the population in 2020 were very concerned with their security and feared that they become a victim of a break -in. These fears have increased further in recent years. The theft of common rooms, such as the basement and laundry room, is also a growing problem, with over 100,000 registered cases in 2024.

It is all the more important to keep your own four walls safe. Often simple measures and attentive neighbors can make a decisive contribution to preventing break -ins. The police appealed to the citizens of being attentive and reporting suspicious activities immediately.

These urgent situations remind us how important it is to protect yourself and your neighbors. At a time at which burglaries are very popular again, we should remain vigilant and do not leave out an opportunity to keep an eye on our surroundings.
