Burglaries and car theory: police in Dresden under pressure!

Neustadt, Deutschland - In Dresden, the weekend brought some worrying news. The police became active several times and dealt with numerous thefts, while the situation in the city was getting worse. As Tixio , there was a housing burglary in the outer part of the Neustadt, in which a laptop was dehelded worth 500 euros. But that was just the beginning.

also came to a particularly brazen incident: unknown people penetrated into a public toilet facility in the Alaunpark and dismantled the control for the door and sink. Here, the steal damage amounts to around 1,000 euros, while the property damage is estimated at around 4,000 euros. Such incidents do not justify current statistics, because in Germany the number of thefts rose to around 1.78 million cases in 2022, which has been a first increase since 2015, such as Statista shown.

car theory under the eyes of the authorities

Another worrying topic is car theft. In Klotzsche, a white Toyota Lexus, the value of which amounts to 53,000 euros, was stolen from a parking garage. This situation reflects an overarching trend: According to the ADAC , the number of car theory in Germany rose by a whopping 20 % compared to the previous year. Especially in Berlin, where a car disappears every two hours, the alarm level is red for car owners.

The numbers speak a clear language: a total of 14,585 comprehensive vehicles were stolen nationwide, which resulted in economic damage of 310 million euros. Models from Toyota, including the Lexus, are particularly popular, which is very popular with car thieves. In addition, in 2023, over 63,000 thefts of car parts, such as catalysts and airbags, recorded an increase of 2,000 compared to the previous year.

The criminal situation in Germany

The conditions in crime are a serious topic in Germany. In 2022, a total of around 5.63 million crimes were recorded; Theft takes a significant share. While the slump in apartments, which had once increased, has declined in recent years, we are now seeing an increase again. According to the latest reports from Statista, there were over 23,500 burglaries in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2022 alone, which is more than 35 % of the cases in the federal states.

The information rate for burglary theft is only 16.1 %, while it is 31.1 % for car theft. So there is still a lot to do for the authorities to ensure the security of citizens. The police were also active in the district of Meißen: a 34-year-old German was arrested, who is suspected of having committed several thefts. In a further arrest, a 31-year-old was caught in Weinböhla after a stolen VW ID.4 was found in Coswig.

In addition, there is a current message about a field fire on the A13 near Radeburg, which blocked the highway for several hours. Meanwhile, police officers in Saxon Switzerland have illegally controlled fireplaces, which shows that the police also show vigilance in other areas. So the citizens should take care and keep an eye on their values.
