an increase in the predatory offenses

The incident is not isolated, but part of a worrying trend in Germany. According to Statista there were over 38,000 predatory offenses in 2022, with an increase in various types of thefts, such as hand pocket craps and even raids on petrol stations. The number of unreported cases could be even higher because many crimes are not reported.
