The break -ins in the senior residence that took place between Friday and Sunday have chilled the minds in the neighborhood. According to beutunbinnen.de , three burglaries were carried out in the said period. Particularly shocking: two residents were injured in the attacks. A perpetrator penetrated a 65-year-old in the night and stole her handbag while an 87-year-old woman had to bring her money from Friday to Saturday.

The alleged perpetrator didn't even shout back to surprise a 60-year-old woman in the bathroom. Despite her attempts to capture him, she was pushed back. The third slump took place the following night, where another woman was injured. The police are currently assuming that these acts may have been committed by the same perpetrator or several actors.

Buries in Germany in retrospect

The break -in is a topic that is rather reduced across Germany. According to the data of almas- industries.net since 2016 there has been a decline in burglaries in Germany, which has been reinforced by the Pandemiebdown 2020. While people were more at home at the time, commercial properties were often vacant and were therefore attractive for burglars. On average, burglaries take place every seven minutes in Germany, with the actual number of unreported cases being assessed than high. Many attempts to break in are not reported, which also veils the security situation.

The educational rate for burglary offenses is only 17.4%. In order to counteract this, experts recommend extensive security systems, such as video surveillance or alarm systems that not only prevent burglaries, but can also contribute to the identification of perpetrators.
