Burglars strike twice: tools and computers stolen from Plauen!
There was a remarkable break-in at a local company building in the train station suburb of Plauen over the long weekend. Unknown people became active on Schenkendorfstrasse twice. The period of the crime extends from Thursday morning to Monday morning, which poses an additional mystery for the police. A large amount of tools and computer technology were stolen during the break-ins. The exact damage caused by the theft is currently unknown, but the material damage caused by the break-ins can be classified as minor. These incidents lead to a worrying development in the region, which is characterized by rising crime rates. The police are therefore asking for any relevant information from citizens who may have noticed people or vehicles in the area. Information can be given to the Plauen police station on 03741 140.
But that is not the only incident that concerns the police in Plauen. Spitzestadt reports a major revelation a theft series that includes more than 100 crimes. This series relates to theft, fraud, damage to property and violations of the Narcotics Act. A group of perpetrators with 14 people from Upper Vogtland and Plauen are responsible for this. Their loot totals over 100,000 euros, while the property damage amounts to over 60,000 euros. The crime scenes span many communities, including Markneukirchen, Oelsnitz and Bad Elster, and the main activities took place between October 2014 and February 2016.
Increasing number of burglaries in Germany
The current situation in Plauen is not an isolated case: criminal energy in Germany has increased in recent years. Statista points out that the number of residential burglaries will have reached a worrying high of around 119,000 cases in 2023. Even though dissatisfaction with these developments is increasing, the clearance rate remains at just 14.9%, the lowest value in years. This shows that authorities may need more effort to catch the perpetrators and ensure the safety of citizens.
The events of the last few days in Plauen cast a critical light on the security of the region and worry many residents. Parents are wondering how safe their children can play outside, while shop owners are considering how to better protect their businesses against such attacks. The police are faced with the challenge of not only solving existing cases, but also developing preventative measures to prevent future crimes.
