Shopping in Stralsund: Escape ends in custody!

Stralsund, Deutschland - drama in Stralsund! A alleged shoplifter, a 30-year-old Tunisian, was caught in Sellin in a fresh act on November 11, 2024 and tried to flee in vain. The police did not give up and put the man who now had to appear in front of a district judge in Stralsund. The judgment? Card of custody! The judge followed the application of the public prosecutor and sent the thief directly behind grid.

On Tuesday, November 12, 2024, the Tunisian was then transferred to a correctional facility. A clear case of "crime is not worth it"! In Germany, thieves threaten up to five years in prison, and the punishment can even increase to ten years in the event of more severe offenses such as burglaries. Particularly explosive: In the case of robberies in which are threatened with weapons, the penalties can be up to 15 years!

theft statistics in focus

The numbers speak a clear language: In 2022, around 1.8 million thefts were registered in Germany - an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous year! However, only about 30 percent of these acts were informed. The educational rate for money thefts is particularly alarming, which is terrifyingly low at only 7.9 percent. In contrast, the shop theft, in which the educational rate is 89.8 percent. It remains to be seen whether this is incorporated into the statistics or whether the Tunisian is entered into history as an individual case.
