The situation is not only limited to Magdeburg. Burglary thefts recently appeared in the Mansfeld-Südharz district. On April 15, 2022, around 11:50 p.m., four masked perpetrators attacked a shopping market in Gerbstedt and stole large amounts of tobacco products. Here, too, a judicial decision for the publication of surveillance camera images is available in order to identify the perpetrators. Notes on identity or the whereabouts of the perpetrators are urgently requested. Interested parties can contact the Halle police inspection on 0345 224-1291.

The increase in crime has an impact on the feeling of security among the population. In 2022, the clearance rate for burglary theft was 16.1%, which indicates little hope of quick solutions. The police fight against the rising offenses on many fronts and call up the population for help. Crime can meet everyone, and together you are often stronger.
