Burglary in the clubhouse: 9,400 euros in damage in Mittweida!
Vacation time is break-in time? At least that's how it is in Mittweida. On Tuesday, August 26, 2025, the police reported a shocking incident: Unknown people broke into a clubhouse near the swan pond. Between 2:30 a.m. and 8 a.m. the perpetrators broke down a door and stole valuable technology items. According to the latest reports from Sächsische.de The theft damage amounts to around 9,400 euros, while the property damage is around 300 euros.
A break-in is never a nice thing, and the clubs affected often face major challenges. It remains to be hoped that the police can gain further information with the help of tips from the public. Also Bundespresseportal.de highlights the importance of public police reports. The more people are informed about such incidents, the lower the risk of becoming a victim of crime themselves.
The increase in burglaries
The dark shadows of crime must not be swept under the carpet. As statistics show, there has been an increase in residential burglaries since the Corona pandemic. In 2023, a total of 119,000 thefts were registered in Germany, including 77,800 burglaries Statista.com. These are alarming numbers, reaching the highest level since 2019. But the whole thing also has a positive aspect: the clearance rate in the overall crime statistics is comparatively high at 58.4 percent.
Interestingly, there are geographical differences in the number of burglaries. In urban areas such as Bremen, Berlin and Hamburg, the likelihood of becoming a victim of a burglary is significantly higher than in rural areas. In addition, the proportion of foreigners among the suspects is shockingly high, especially in cities like Hamburg, where it is a whopping 65.6 percent.
