Wave of break-ins: Gas station in Korbach once again targeted by thieves!
On the night of July 16, 2025, a gas station on Arolser Landstrasse in Korbach was once again the target of burglars. At around 3:30 a.m., the perpetrators broke the windows of the sales room in two places and stole cigarettes. The total value of the loot is currently unclear, but the total damage is estimated to be in the lower four-digit range, as 112-magazin.de reports.
An attentive witness heard the windows rattling and immediately informed the police. Immediate searches were initiated, but the search for the perpetrators was unsuccessful. The police estimate that both crimes - the current burglary and a previous incident on July 11, 2025 - were committed by the same perpetrators. The Korbach police are asking for information from the public and are offering the telephone number 05631/9710 for possible tips.
Wave of burglaries in Germany
It is not an isolated case: the burglary statistics for 2025 show a worrying trend, with a 25% increase in burglaries compared to 2020. The numbers are rising rapidly, particularly in urban areas of Germany. In total, there have already been over 100,000 break-ins in large cities this year, as meinewerkzeuge.com highlights.
Interestingly, scientific predictive models have now found that smart security systems, such as facial recognition and AI-powered alarm systems, can help reduce burglary rates. In some regions, the use of such technologies has reduced the burglary rate by up to 30%. Together with community safety projects, these measures strengthen a sense of security in neighborhoods.
The police and their embassy
Current events show once again how important it is to be vigilant and strengthen the neighborhood. More than 67% of burglars come from local areas, so it is crucial that citizens remain vigilant and report suspicious activity immediately.
The police in Korbach appeal to everyone to keep their eyes and ears open. Such crimes can be counteracted with the support of the population. Your information could be crucial to finding the perpetrators and increasing security in the region.
Stay cautious and secure your home. Because, as current statistics show, burglary protection is essential. Tips on prevention measures can be found on the [press portal] website (https://www.presseportal.de/blaulicht/pm/44150/6077800).
