Wild night in Pasewalk: Unknown people break into a motorhome and steal 1,350 euros!

On the night of October 2, 2025, the police in Pasewalk were alerted after a Mercedes motorhome was the target of a burglary in a backyard parking lot on Stettiner Straße. The crime occurred between 1:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., with unknown perpetrators overcoming the vehicle's electronic lock. They stole items worth around 1,350 euros. Police are asking the public for help and encouraging witnesses to come forward. Information can be given directly to the Pasewalk police headquarters on 03973/2200 or via the police online watchdog.

Unfortunately, this type of incident is not an isolated case. The 2023 theft statistics have shown that there is a worrying increase in motorhome thefts in Germany. Especially in northwestern and southern federal states, where the geographical proximity to national borders should not be underestimated. The stolen vehicles often end up abroad. North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony top the list of states with the most thefts, while Hamburg and Berlin are safer places in comparison. In Berlin there was a decrease in thefts of almost 50%, placing the city in the middle of the pack.
