Burglary wave in Waldstetten: Police asks for information

A striking increase in burglary attempts in the past few days alerted the citizens of the region and brought the police in full swing. In the focus, there are several incidents in the towns of Waldstetten and Rainau, which not only represent a security problem, but also raise questions about safety in their own four walls.

Alarming incidents in Waldstetten

In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, more precisely around 3:10 a.m., residents observed an attempted break-in in the throttle path. However, two men tried to penetrate into a house through a window, but fled when they were perceived by a witness. Despite the immediate search, in which even a helicopter was used, the perpetrators were able to escape.

before, between Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon, burglars had entered another residential building in Lerchenweg. The perpetrators ransacked various cupboards, and whether something has been stolen is still unclear. In the morning there was another break -in in the throttle path: between 3 a.m. and 3.15 p.m. damage of around 2,000 euros, again through a window. Witnesses report that the persons described may also be responsible for the previous deeds.

Burglaries in Rainau: An unexpected fright

Similar worrying situations occurred in Rainau. On Wednesday at around 2.45 a.m., a stranger entered an apartment in Schwenninger Weg via a window. The noises aroused the residents, which caused the perpetrator to escape towards Sa. Here, too, the population is asked for increased vigilance.

The importance of attention and cooperation

The police have already taken measures and encourages citizens to be attentive themselves. The deeds seem to be related, which is why the authorities urgently ask for all information about suspicious persons or vehicles. The population is encouraged to report inconspicuous observations immediately.

Witnesses in Waldstetten can submit information on 07171 3580 at the Schwäbisch Gmünd police station or at 07171 42454 at the Waldstetten police station. The Ellwangen police station is available for the break -in in Rainau.

Common security as a goal

The increasing number of burglaries could indicate a bigger problem in the area of living security. In times when many people feel that they are no longer safe in their own neighborhood, it is important to bring the community together and to promote mutual support and vigilance. Security is not an individual, but a common concern that affects all citizens.
