Police hold four burglars in the crime in Cologne-Mülheim!

in Cologne-Mülheim on July 8, the police ensured a quick search for the search: four alleged burglars were caught in the act. According to ksta.de , a resident reported suspicious activities at an apartment building in the Grünstrasse. Two of the men entered the building, while a third party kept an eye on the surrounding area. When the police arrived, one of the suspects tried to flee, while the other two hastily left the house and hid.

The fourth suspect, who was arrested with jewelry and cash in his hand, was finally taken up in the back yard. The police also secured important evidence such as screwdrivers, wrenches, gloves and further cash. These four men aged 37, 41 and twice 51 are now shown to a judge. The investigation into possible further burglaries is still underway.

burglary protection and prevention

The current arrest comes at a critical time when there are increasing housing burglaries in Germany. In 2023, according to Statista , around 119,000 cases, of which around 77,800 classified as a burglary. This means a worrying trend reversal: the increase in the burglaries has now been recorded for the second time in a row, and the numbers have been the highest since 2019. The crime rate is particularly high in urban federal states, with Mülheim an der Ruhr on the Ruhr per 100,000 inhabitants.

In order to counteract the increasing crime, the police recommend that the police be better secured and careful to pay attention to the environment. Suspicious observations should be reported immediately via the emergency number "110". In addition, the police provide tickets on their website that break down the burglaries after weeks and thus help citizens to have a vigilant eye on their neighborhood, such as informed.

the feeling of security

The squeaky door locks, the sound of a breaking window or a suspicious car in the neighborhood - all of these signs can warn at an early stage and must not be ignored. A practical note from the police is the importance of an attentive neighborhood. This gives additional protection and security for everyone who lives in the quarter.

Although the information rate for dawns in the apartment in 2023 is 14.9%, the feeling of security of many residents remains impaired. Mental consequential damage is also common side effects for the victims. If you feel uncertain in your own home, you should not hesitate to take protective measures.

at a time when the feeling of security of many citizens is shaken, it remains important to tackle crime together. A vigilant eye and fast reactions are the key to prevention.
