Burglary in Neukloster: Robbers steal a car and set it on fire!
On Sunday night, burglars devastated the premises of a shipping service provider in Neukloster, a district in the northwest Mecklenburg district. At 2:30 a.m. the alarm was received by the police, who were immediately on the scene and discovered that the perpetrators had forced open a gate. Access to the site was apparently made easier by opening a fence, allowing them to ransack several office rooms and a warehouse. It is currently unclear whether anything was actually stolen during this crime, reports NDR.
The criminal investigations are already underway. She is looking for witnesses who may have seen something suspicious. Another clue could be a burning car that was reported nearby shortly after the break-in. The car, which was discovered with the hazard lights on, is suspected of having been stolen from the shipping service provider's premises. The fire brigade from Neukloster and Glasin rushed to the scene and extinguished the vehicle, which is estimated to be worth around 22,000 euros.
The property damage from the break-in is also of this magnitude. The estimated 22,000 euros includes possible thefts as well as damage to doors and other facilities. Such incidents are not uncommon in northern Germany, although the increase in burglaries after the corona pandemic is worrying; According to statistics, around 119,000 burglaries were registered in Germany in 2023, including 77,800 residential burglaries, which is the highest number since 2019.
