Burglary shock in Kleve cells: jewelry and cash stolen!

Burglary shock in Kleve cells: jewelry and cash stolen!

In the night from Wednesday to Thursday, more precisely between June 19 and 20, 2025, a residential building on the Leitgraben street in Kleve-Kellen was the target of burglars. Unknown perpetrators hit a window at the handle to get access. After they got inside, the intruders ransacked cupboards and drawers and stole jewelry and cash, such as the reports from Lokalkompass.de and Express.de

The exact time of the incident fell on shortly before 2:00 a.m. when a surveillance camera filmed the unknown suspect in the garden of the house. What was striking was the appearance of the burglary: he was wearing a black sweater and a black knitting hat, and he was also recognized with a dark, gray-mottled 5-day beard.

Witness call

The police are now asking the population for help: Anyone who has information about this incident or the identity of the perpetrator should contact the Kripo Kleve on 02821 5040. Such an offense often leaves not only material damage, but also a feeling of uncertainty among those affected.

Burglaries are unfortunately not an isolated case. Data show that almost every second break -in fails because the perpetrators take too long for access to the house. This illustrates how important a solid burglary protection is. According to the information from gdv.de , the focus should be on mechanical solutions, since these represent the most effective barriers. These include the installation of burglar -resistant front doors and windows with appropriate safety mechanisms.

For homeowners, it makes sense to rely on tested security systems such as burglar -resistant window fittings and lockable window handles. In addition, alarm systems can be a helpful expansion to mechanical protection. Outside lighting and motion detectors can also deter burglars and increase safety. In this context, the K-Investigator initiative offers a lot of information about suitable security solutions that can contribute to prevention.

It remains to be hoped that the support of the population and through targeted burglary protection can be minimized in the future.
