This incident is in a larger context, because burglaries are an increasing problem in Germany. According to statistics, there were around 119,000 thefts in 2023, 77,800 of which were classified as theft of housing. This has marked the highest level since 2019, although the numbers are still over 50% below those of 2015. The risk of burglary is particularly high in urban areas. For example, Mülheim an der Ruhr counted the highest burglary rate with 283 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

The effects of burglaries are serious. They not only lead to material damage, but also significantly affect the feeling of security of those affected. This often results in psychological consequences that are not immediately recognizable. The police's investigation into the clarification of such crimes are essential. The clearance rate for the die of apartments was 14.9%in 2023, which is terrifyingly low compared to the overall quota of all crimes (58.4%). The high proportion of foreign suspect, which is 42.9% of the enlightened burglaries, is particularly worrying. This indicates a complex problem that affects society as a whole.
