Current burglary figures

Such incidents are not exactly individual cases. According to the current burglar statistics for 2025, German cities have a serious increase in 25 % compared to 2020. Urban areas are particularly affected, including Bremen. Over 100,000 burglaries were registered in major German cities this year. Scientific forecast models and technological innovations, such as AI-based security systems, contribute to reducing burglary rates and increasing security standards. Mein Werkzeugen.com shows that, for example, community-based security concepts strengthen neighborhood security and modern security solutions such as intelligent door locks can reduce the break-in rate in certain regions by up to 30 %.

The integration of such systems will become increasingly essential in the coming years, especially when you consider that 67 % of the burglars come from the surrounding area. With such figures, it is important that the local community remains vigilant and takes preventive measures in order to protect itself against potential burglars. Innovative fence systems and reinforced entrance gates can also significantly increase security and further reduce the likelihood of a break -in.

The police and the community appeal to all citizens to be careful with regard to the increasing burglary figures and report suspicious observations immediately. The feeling of security in your own environment should be the top priority for every member of society.
