burglary data and prevention

The incidents fall into a worrying trend. According to the 2023 crime statistics, burglary theft in Germany increased by 181 percent compared to the previous year, with a total of around 77,800 reported cases. Most burglaries happen during the day between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., which also makes the security situation in residential areas precarious, especially in the autumn and winter months.

To protect yourself from burglaries, mechanical fuses, such as burglar -resistant windows and doors, as well as modern safety technology, such as alarm systems and video surveillance, are urgently recommended. Interestingly, almost every second attempt to break in fails because perpetrators need too much time to get into the house. The need for continuous prevention measures is therefore pointed out, since investments in security systems can prove to be worthwhile in the long term.
