shocking crime statistics

The numbers are alarming: In 2022, around 1.8 million thefts were recorded in Germany - an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous year! The clarification rate varies strongly: While 89.8 percent are informed when shop theft, the quota for money theft is only 7.9 percent. This means that many perpetrators get away with impunity. But the punishments are hard: if you get caught, you have to expect up to five years in prison, and even up to ten years in the event of severe offenses!

The district police authority calls on all citizens to be vigilant and to actively participate in crime prevention. Don't be made victim!
