Two burglars caught in the act - drama in Geesthacht!

Berliner Straße, 21502 Geesthacht, Deutschland - in Ratzeburg there was recently a remarkable incident that attracted the attention of the local police. On October 11, 2024, around 9:10 p.m., the owner of a property in Berliner Strasse in Geesthacht reported. Although he was not at home, he was able to see through a surveillance camera how two unknown persons had a violent trouble at an outer door of his family home and then entered the house.

The situation escalated when the alarmed patrol cars of the police arrived. The officials quickly realized that the suspects had already fled to the roof of the house to hide there. In a desperate attempt to escape the arrest, one of the suspects jumped from the roof to the terrace of the house. But luck was not on his side, because the police were already on site and immediately arrested him.

The second suspect tried to get back into the inside of the house through a window, but was also received by the emergency services and temporarily arrested. It was 39 and 41 years old for the two men, who are now confronted with a serious accusation: burglary theft.

After the arrest, both men were brought to the guard in Geesthacht. There was a recording of their personal details, followed by further police measures. After completing these procedures, they were released from the police custody. However, their deeds have consequences because they have to expect a complaint.

The police invite the public to become active in suspicions of burglaries or similar crimes and to inform them immediately.

In particularly serious cases, such as gang theft or burglaries, the punishment can even be up to ten years. The carrying of a weapon during the crime also has serious effects on the expected punishments.

dr. Jens Buscher, the press spokesman for the Lübeck public prosecutor, and Sandra Kilian from the Ratzeburg police department were the main contact for this message. All information was published in a joint press release to inform the public about the current developments in the region.
