Break-in in Korbach: 5,000 euros in damage in cigarette robbery!
On the night of July 10th to 11th, 2025, a break-in occurred at a gas station on Arolser Landstrasse in Korbach. Unknown perpetrators tampered with the window of the sales room and thus got inside. Cigarettes worth several hundred euros were stolen during the attack, although the exact value of the stolen goods is still unclear. The material damage caused is estimated at around 5,000 euros.
An attentive witness heard the clanging of the broken window around 2:50 a.m. and observed two suspects fleeing. She immediately informed the police about the incident, but the search measures they initiated were unsuccessful. The police are asking the public for information and asking witnesses to call 05631-9710.
Current burglary situation in Germany
Unfortunately, such break-ins are no exception. According to the Police crime statistics 2023 There were around 77,800 burglaries in Germany last year, which corresponds to an increase of 181 percent compared to the previous year. The risk of break-ins is significantly increased, particularly in the autumn and winter months, when it gets dark early. Urban areas are more affected than rural regions.
Mechanical security such as burglary-resistant windows and doors as well as modern security technology, such as alarm systems and video surveillance, are indispensable measures for burglary prevention. It turns out that almost every second break-in attempt fails because the perpetrators often take too long to gain access.
Protective measures and prevention
Recent break-ins, such as the one at the Korbach gas station, illustrate the need for continuous preventative measures. What can the operators of such shops and the residents of Korbach learn? Investing in security systems is worthwhile in the long term. Alarm connections that connect security systems with emergency call and service control centers can be crucial in an emergency.
Citizens of Korbach who can provide information about the break-in or suspicious observations are called upon to contact the police. The reports from the population help to increase security in the region and make a significant contribution to solving these crimes.
