Wetterau: Burglaries and vandalism provide great concern!

On January 14, 2025, the daily news from the Wetteraukreis will take a light on current topics in the region, especially in the area of ​​police and crime. While the weather forecasts, given the winter weather for the coming days, have a clear sky with slight clouds, there are also worrying messages regarding security.

In the latest police reports, it becomes clear that the number of crimes in the Wetteraukreis is still declining. In 2022, only 3,459 crimes were registered here, which makes the region the safest compared to other parts of Central Hesse. Nevertheless, there are alarming trends: the reconnaissance rate has dropped to 57.4 percent, among other things because both property damage and car theft have increased.

Detailed crime statistics

The increase in bicycle thefts that rose to 505 cases in the Wetteraukreis is particularly striking. This reflects a national trend. Another point of concern is the burglaries that rose from 124 cases in 2021 to 184 in 2022. Despite this increase, the number is still below the level of 2016.

police operations in Butzbach and Bad Vilbel recently achieved special attention. In Butzbach, a truck was checked, which was overloaded by 60 % at 6,300 kg. During the check, insufficient load securing was also found, which led to fines for the driver and the owner. The truck that belongs to a scaffolding company had to be reloaded so as not to endanger traffic.

burglaries and vandalism employ the police

A burglary in a family home was also found in Bad Vilbel. Here the perpetrators slipped into the house between 5:00 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. through a terrace door and stolen jewelry. Similar incidents occurred in Niddatal and Butzbach, where the perpetrators reached the houses through windows and violent access. In these cases, the police ask for information on 06031 6010.

In addition, a severe vandalism case was reported in Rosbach. The tires of a Daimler and a Subaru break up unknowns, while in Bad Nauheim a paving stone was thrown onto the windshield of a Seat. In this context, too, the police ask the population to help.

Overall, the security situation in the Wetteraukreis, despite the incidents mentioned, remains positive compared to other regions. The decline in the long -term crime rate and the low frequency figures could be due to successful prevention measures. Nevertheless, the level of protection due to increasing attempts to educate and cooperation with the community is of crucial importance in order to continue to keep the region safe.
