Current developments in theft crime
These incidents are in the context of an overall complex situation regarding theft crime in Germany. According to the 2024 police crime statistics published on April 2, 2025, approximately 5.8 million crimes were recorded last year. Theft crimes account for around a third of all crimes, with over 1.94 million cases. Despite a 1.6% decrease in these crimes compared to the previous year, thefts are still an explosive issue, as the incidents in Cologne and Halle show. These developments were also analyzed in detail by the BKA.
What is particularly interesting is that the increase in burglaries by 0.8% and the decrease in shoplifting (-5.0%) and bicycle thefts (-6.9%) indicate that various preventative measures are already having an effect. Nevertheless, the overall clearance rate for thefts remains only at 31.4%, while shoplifting is solved much better with a rate of 89.3%. Such figures make it clear that the authorities are constantly required to ensure the safety of the population in times of changing social and economic conditions.
The developments surrounding theft make it clear that everyone is asked to be vigilant and, if necessary, to report to the police. Only through joint efforts can we increase security in our cities.
