Series of burglaries in Germany
The incidents in Vellmar and Habichtswald have a larger context. According to statistics, the risk of becoming a victim of a burglary has increased after the corona pandemic. In 2023, around 119,000 residential burglaries were registered in Germany, which marks a high level since 2019. Nevertheless, the number has fallen by over 50 percent compared to 2015.
Burglaries often occur through forced entry, which can have a lasting impact on the personal safety of those affected. The Statista analyzes that the clearance rate for residential burglaries in 2023 was only 14.9 percent, which represents an additional burden for many victims.
The police in Vellmar and Habichtswald are taking the situation seriously and relying on the cooperation of citizens to catch the perpetrators and increase security in the region again. Every piece of information, no matter how small, could be crucial.
