Break-in in Bremen: Perpetrators race through the glass door in their vehicle!
The nighttime activities in Bremen-Hemelingen leave an uneasy feeling. On the night of Saturday to Sunday, to be precise on August 9, 2025 at 2:30 a.m., unknown perpetrators drove a vehicle backwards through the glass door of a tool shop on Pfalzburger Strasse. This brazen break-in not only caused extensive material damage, but also raises questions about security in the region. According to [Stern].
As the police report, the burglars entered the sales room through the destroyed entrance door, where they took possession of high-quality power tools and accessories. After the break-in, the perpetrators fled in an unknown direction in a van. The investigators ask anyone who has made suspicious observations or can provide information about the vehicle to contact the permanent criminal service on 0421 362-3888. Unfortunately, this type of incident is not new - the increase in burglaries in Bremen and other German cities is alarming and fits into the current picture portrayed by the press portal.
Burglary statistics and security in Bremen
The burglary statistics show a worrying trend. According to Home Insider, there were 77,819 home break-ins nationwide in 2023, an increase of around 18 percent compared to the previous year. This increase is partly due to the aftereffects of the corona pandemic. Bremen is not spared from these developments either.
On average, break-ins cause damage of around 3,500 euros. The figures show that occasional and spontaneous perpetrators account for around 80 percent of all burglaries. It also turns out that large cities experience far more burglaries than rural areas. A combination of mechanical, structural and electronic security measures could help to increase security.
The police already offer free security advice to citizens to better protect them from break-ins. It remains to be hoped that such measures and the help of the public can prevent such incidents in the future.
The investigation into the current break-in in Bremen-Hemelingen will not only help secure the damaged businesses, but also serve as a call to all people in Bremen to remain vigilant and reconsider their own security precautions.
