the time after theft

The increasing number of thefts shows that the protection of one's own property becomes increasingly challenging. Despite the clearance rate for various types of theft, which was only 31.1 % for car theft in 2022, many victims only have the loss and the associated anger. Because while more than 35% of all burglaries were carried out in North Rhine-Westphalia, most thefts concerned more parked vehicles. Therefore, it is advisable to always be careful when parking and not to leave valuable objects in the car.

The police appeal to all citizens to be vigilant and report suspicious activities immediately. Safety in our neighborhoods can only be strengthened through joint action.
