In the Neusiedl am See district, the police solved three burglaries within two days and arrested several suspects. On October 9th, an attentive witness noticed two people trespassing into a single-family home in Pama. He promptly alerted the emergency services, who were able to arrest the two perpetrators, a 43-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man, when they arrived. Both are Slovak citizens and had bags full of stolen goods with them when they tried to escape. They got into the house through the garage and stole various valuables and clothing. According to meinkreis.at, the two were taken to the Eisenstadt prison while the investigation into further possible burglaries continues.

Burglary crime on the rise
The cases in Neusiedl am See are part of a larger trend that can be observed in many regions. According to statistics from recent years, the number of residential burglaries reached a peak in 2023. The corona pandemic has certainly contributed to the increase in burglaries. In Germany there were around 119,000 thefts in 2023, of which 77,800 were residential burglaries. This is the highest level since 2019, but also shows a significant decrease compared to 2015 with 167,000 cases. The current surge raises questions about the safety of our neighborhoods as many citizens lose a sense of security.
The different methods that burglars use are striking. Access is often achieved by force, trickery or keys. The consequences are not only material damage, but also a violation of privacy and potentially psychological consequences for the victims. The clearance rate for residential burglary is only 14.9% in 2023, which illustrates the challenge for the police statista.com.
It remains essential that residents remain vigilant and report suspicious observations quickly. In view of the recent incidents in Neusiedl am See, it is clear that an attentive neighborhood and quick reactions can make a big difference. Let us hope that the current investigations will lead to further clarification and security in the region will be strengthened.
