Burglary at the petrol station in Osnabrück: arrests according to Alarmalarm!

Wersener Straße, 49076 Osnabrück, Deutschland - On June 26, 2025, a break-in was carried out in Osnabrück-Eversburg to a gas station on Wersener Strasse. At 3:45 a.m., masked perpetrators violently entered the sales room and stole several boxes of cigarette boxes. An accomplice had been lubricated during the break -in, which made a witness aware of the act.

The noise when the entrance door broke up and the alarm noise did not allow the witness to hesitate for long. He immediately alerted the police and watched the two masked people fled towards Kirchstrasse. This quick reaction led the police to initiate near -area searches.

arrest of the suspects

In Atterstrasse, the officials also came from Osnabrück on the two men, 38 and 44 years old. Both carried bags with them that had contained the alleged stolen goods. They were then temporarily arrested. The district court of Osnabrück ordered immediate house searches for their apartments.

The searches in the apartments of the suspects revealed further alleged stolen goods and evidence. The investigation is aimed at whether the men were also involved in other offenses. These events are part of a troubling trend, because the number of thefts in Germany has recently increased.

crime in the upswing

As a current statistics show, around 5.63 million crimes were recorded in Germany in 2022, including around 1.78 million thefts, which corresponds to an increase in the previous year. Shopping steels, bicycle thefts and burglaries into motor vehicles are particularly common. These developments make it clear that in North Rhine -Westphalia, where Osnabrück is located, over 23,500 burglaries were recorded in 2022 - a worrying increase.

The information rate for burglary theft was just 16.1% in 2022 and thus significantly behind that of predatory offenses, which is around 60%. In view of these figures, the rapid arrest of the suspects in Osnabrück is a ray of hope in the frequently tense situation of crime.

We stay tuned and will report on the progress of the investigation.
