Burglars fail: Shop window of a Plauen bike shop remains intact!

The police are now looking for witnesses that can provide information on suspicious activities or people at the time of the crime. If you have information, please feel free to contact the police station in Plauen on 03741 140. The aim of the investigators is to find those responsible for this unsuccessful slump in order to prevent such incidents in the future.

introduction to a growing problem

Burglaries and attempts at burglary are unfortunately not uncommon. According to the data from the Federal Criminal Police Office, the number of housing inlet thefts recorded in the police in Germany has changed in recent years. Statista documents a number of statistical information on this topic that extends from 2014 to 2024. It turns out that many cities have to fight with similar challenges when it comes to burglaries into shops or living space.

Although the attempted break -in on Friday in Plauen was unsuccessful, the question remains how often the shop windows of shops or the apartments of citizens are target of such attacks. Citizens are called up to be vigilant and report suspicious observations immediately. In this way, the police can react faster and stop potential perpetrators before serious damage occurs. A community that holds together and is attentive can meet these challenges and ensure more security in the district.
