Focus on burglary crime
This incident is part of a worrying development in Germany, where burglaries have increased in recent years. According to Statista, there were around 119,000 thefts from apartments in Germany in 2023, which shows a sharply increasing trend. What is particularly striking is that the clearance rate for residential burglaries is only 14.9%, which presents the police with a major challenge. de.statista.com emphasizes that, in addition to material damage, many victims also have to contend with psychological consequences that arise from the loss of a sense of security within their own four walls.
Urban areas in particular, such as Mülheim an der Ruhr with the highest burglary rate, are often affected. The risk of becoming a victim of a burglary increases significantly in such regions. With the increase in burglary crimes following the corona pandemic, not only the police but also citizens are being asked to be vigilant.
