Burglary in Bobenheim: Police are looking for witnesses to a mysterious incident!

A break-in in a single-family home in Bobenheim am Berg causes excitement in the region. According to news.de, the incident took place on July 11, 2025 between 10:00 and 11:00 a.m. The perpetrator gained access to the living quarters by prying open the front door. What exactly was stolen remains unclear at the moment, as the police cannot provide any specific information about the stolen goods.

The Bad Dürkheim police station has already started a call for witnesses. People who observed suspicious people or vehicles during this period are asked to come forward. Anyone interested can contact the police on 06322/963-0 or by email at pibadduerkheim@polizei.rlp.de. The incident was deemed particularly worrying, not only because of the inconvenience to those affected, but also because of the general increase in home break-ins in Germany.

The increase in burglaries

Recently, the number of residential burglaries in Germany has risen sharply. Information from Statista shows that a total of 119,000 thefts were recorded in 2023, of which 77,800 were residential burglaries. This is the highest level since 2019. However, the number remains over 50% lower than in 2015, when there were 167,000 cases.

It should be particularly emphasized that the highest risk of burglary exists in the urban states of Bremen, Berlin and Hamburg. In contrast, Bavaria records the lowest numbers. The clearance rate for residential burglaries is only 14.9%, which lags significantly behind the overall rate of 58.4% for all crimes.

Importance of witness information

Given the low clearance rate, the role of witnesses is becoming increasingly important. “We appeal to citizens to keep an eye on their surroundings and to report suspicious activities immediately,” explains a spokesman for the Bad Dürkheim police station. Burglaries not only cause material damage, but also often leave psychological consequences and a feeling of insecurity for those affected.

The police remain optimistic and hope for information from the public. With the active support of the community, the perpetrator in Bobenheim am Berg may be caught quickly. Neighborhoods should remain vigilant and help each other to prevent further incidents.

For additional information or to provide tips, anyone interested can contact the police on 06322/963-0 or by email at pibadduerkheim@polizei.rlp.de. Citizens are encouraged to actively support the police in the fight against crime because we are stronger together.
