Series of burglaries shakes the Rems-Murr district: who is behind it?

There were a number of break-ins in the Rems-Murr district on Monday, November 10, 2025, which were mainly committed at night. The incidents were concentrated between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., with four break-ins reported during this short period. Two single-family homes in Winnenden-Breuningsweiler, located on Buocher Straße and Roßbergstraße, were particularly affected, as zvw.de reported.

These recent burglaries are part of a worrying series of crimes that have rocked the region in recent days. From Plüderhausen to Backnang, thieves have carried out their crimes using an old trick: using massive amounts of force, doors and windows are pried open, the rooms are ransacked and the residents are left unsettled. In Plüderhausen, a ground floor window on Münzenhalde Street was recently forced open, causing material damage of around 2,000 euros, while it remains unclear whether loot was made, according to the Stuttgarter Nachrichten.

Wave of burglaries in the Rems-Murr district

But such brazen attacks did not only occur in Winnenden-Breuningsweiler. Burglaries with a similar course were also recorded in other cities in the Rems-Murr district, such as Waiblingen and Weinstadt. In Waiblingen, the window of a restaurant was recently smashed, while in Leutenbach-Nellmersbach, a residential building was entered through a patio door. Unknown people got out specifically for valuables, which indicates an organized group of perpetrators. The police have started an investigation and are asking the public for help and information if they see anything suspicious [stuttgarter-nachrichten.de].

The large number of break-ins in a short period of time suggests that a gang is behind these criminal activities. Residents are urged to better secure their belongings and report any suspicious activity to the police immediately. It is important that everyone in the neighborhood supports each other and pays attention to ensure safety in their own homes.

Prevention measures

The police advise always locking doors and windows properly and taking additional security precautions to deter potential burglars. Simple measures are often enough to significantly reduce the risk of break-ins. If you do become a victim of a break-in, it is advisable to inform the police immediately and not to change anything at the crime scene so as not to impair the investigation.

This series of burglaries is not only an alarming matter for the police, but also shows how important it is to have suitable financing options on hand in times of financial uncertainty and sudden emergencies, such as those that can arise due to unexpected expenses for repairs or similar. Emergency loans could be a convenient solution, but should be used carefully, especially given the often high interest rates and fees, as explained on finder.com.

Let's stay vigilant and work together to ensure our neighborhood remains a safe place.
