Wrong police officers and burglaries: Fear in Alsfeld grows!

In the Vogelsberg district, a series of burglaries and attempted frauds ensure excitement. On Sunday, December 15, 2024, two unknown perpetrators broke into a family home in Behringweg in Alsfeld. They penetrated the house between 3:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., but were able to flee several rooms, but flee with empty hands, such as the East Hesse reported. The two men have been unidentified so far, with one description: One was younger age, dressed in a dark jacket and jeans, the other about 40 years old with black hair and a beard.

The incident did not occur in isolation. Already on Friday, December 13th and on the night of Monday, December 16, burglars failed in further attempts to enter the same property. In addition, false police officers rang on the door of the house on Thursday, December 12, in order to involve the residents in a conversation - but this also failed. The detail of the descriptions of the perpetrator indicates that there could be a connection between these incidents. People in the area who have observed suspicious activities are asked to report to the police.

The reality of burglary

Security in your own four walls is of the utmost importance, especially in view of current statistics. According to the GDV statistics almost half of all burglaries fail, since burglars take too long to get into the house. Mechanical protective measures, such as certified burglar -resistant doors and windows, are essential for protection against burglars. Measures such as alarm systems and outdoor lighting can supplement the safety standard and prevent potential perpetrators from break -ins.

The increasing crime, such as the approximately 1.8 million thefts in Germany in 2022 - an increase of 20 % compared to the previous year - makes it essential to find out about effective security solutions and apply them.
