Burglars in Maintal steal an empty gun cabinet – police are looking for witnesses!
On the night of Sunday, October 26th, an apartment on Kennedystrasse in Maintal was targeted by burglars. Between 8 and 8:45 p.m., the perpetrators entered the ground floor of the house through a forced-open balcony door. There they found a gun cabinet that was quite impressive, weighing around 160 kilograms and being around 1.50 meters high. But upon closer inspection, it turned out that the cupboard was empty.
The perpetrators managed to transport the massive gun cabinet over the balcony to a nearby parking lot, where they presumably loaded it into a vehicle and then fled. The criminal police have already started an investigation, but solving this break-in is a challenge that can be seen across the country. The clearance rate for residential burglaries is currently only 15.3 percent, which shows that such crimes are often difficult to reconstruct. The police in Maintal are asking anyone who witnessed the incident to call 06181/100-123.
A look back at the burglary statistics
The challenge of burglary protection does not go unnoticed. More and more citizens are becoming aware of the need for security measures. It is recommended to always keep windows and doors closed and completely locked and to simulate being present when you are away. People are increasingly relying on both mechanical and electronic means to protect themselves and their property. The range of security precautions has therefore increased significantly in 2024, even if the number of burglaries has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels.
Burglary protection in focus
It is very important for citizens in Maintal and beyond to be vigilant and think about preventive measures. In view of the increasing burglary rate, it is advisable to take security precautions to stop potential perpetrators. A conscious approach to your own security can help minimize the risk of a break-in and increase the likelihood that such criminal activities will be detected in good time.
The authorities remain hopeful that witnesses to the break-in on Sunday in Maintal will come forward and help clarify the incident. Because it is important to stop the perpetrators before they strike again.
