Burglars surprise pensioners in their sleep - police asks for clues!

A shocking burglary shook the quiet life in Bruchköbel last Saturday afternoon. At 4:45 p.m., a pensioner was awakened by a burglar in his own home, in the Erlenweg. The perpetrator, who entered the single -family house unnoticed through the patio door, first searched the ground floor rooms and finally also found the unsuspecting senior's bedroom. When the burglar was at the moment to steal a jewelry box, his eyes met the residents of the scorned residents, which forced him to escape. The perpetrator is described as about 20 to 30 years old, with light, round facial features and dark hair. The police asks witnesses who have seen the man on Erlenweg to report on the number (06181) 100-123, such as the Fuldaer Zeitung reported.

Burglary in the daycare center

While the investigators are looking for the burglar in Bruchköbel, another incident in the region became known: in Niederdorfelden, a daycare center between Friday and Sunday was the goal of burglars. The unknowns broke up the entrance door and stole a safe with cash, whereby the property damage is estimated at around 1,000 euros. The criminal police have started the investigation and urgently searches for witnesses who have seen suspicious people near the crime scene. Here, too, information can be reported on the telephone number (06181) 100-123, such as Newsflash24 reported.

These two incidents also skill lightly on increasing crime in the region after the burglary figures in Hesse have risen again between 2022 and 2023. The company is now faced with the question of how security can be guaranteed in its own four walls and community facilities.
