common crime scenes and methods

Burglaries in residential buildings are often carried out via the easiest accessible areas, whereby windows and patio doors are among the preferred destinations. According to Home and Smart , most burglaries in single-family houses are shaped by window doors or windows. These available incidents in Backnang confirm this trend. The times are often in the afternoon hours when the residents are absent, which is also evident in the two current burglaries.

A review of the burglar numbers shows a sustainable increase until 2015 with around 167,000 cases, followed by a decline to 97,504 cases in 2018. Nevertheless, burglaries often leave mental scars among the victims who have reported insomnia and uncertainty.

Citizens are encouraged to pay attention to suspicious activities and to report them immediately. The investigators are aware that many break-ins by local or regionally known perpetrators are committed, which underlines the importance of the local vigilance.
