The unknown perpetrators not only pried open the front door, but also opened the apartment door with little effort.

But this break-in is not the only recent incident. The police also recently started investigations into two break-ins at schools in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. They broke into educational institutions on the night of July 8th. At 3:45 a.m., unknown people pried open a door to a school on Fürst-Bentheim-Strasse and caused considerable damage by also breaking open doors and cupboards. Another window was forced open between 6:00 p.m. and 6:40 a.m. at a school on Rektoratsstrasse, where additional doors were also forcibly opened. Due to the proximity in location and time, a connection between the crimes is likely. The Gütersloh police are also urgently looking for witnesses to these incidents who may have noticed suspicious vehicles or people on the night in question.

Wave of burglaries causes unrest

The increasing number of break-ins, whether in homes or schools, is causing growing unrest among citizens. In an area where helping neighbors is very important, one feels alarmed by such acts. Communities are now required to pay more attention to one another and to arm themselves together against burglars. It is in the air that you should pay more attention than ever to the safety of your own four walls and the surrounding area.

This makes it all the more important to be vigilant in your neighborhood. Many neighbors could potentially be of help, and preventive measures such as neighborhood watches could be a useful response to current safety concerns. Police keep an eye on it, but the community often has a better view of the faces and cars that pass by every day.
