The risks for thieves

The consequences for thieves can be serious. In Germany, they face up to five years in prison in the event of a arrest. In the event of more severe offenses, such as burglaries or if a weapon is involved, punishments can even be up to 15 years! The crime statistics show that around 1.8 million thefts were recorded in Germany in 2022 - an alarming increase by 20 percent compared to the previous year. But the educational rate is sobering: only about three out of ten cases are informed, with serious differences depending on the type of theft.
