Burglary shock in Eisenhüttenstadt: fishing rods stolen from basement!
A break-in was reported in Eisenhüttenstadt on November 18, 2025, which startled residents. At around 4:00 a.m., several residents on Saarlouiser Strasse heard a loud bang, which called the police to the scene. The officers found that a shed in the basement of an apartment building had been broken into. A total of five fishing rods were stolen, which indicates that the perpetrators were targeted. The criminal investigators from the Oder-Spree/Frankfurt (Oder) inspection have already begun investigations to bring those responsible to justice, as news.de reports.
A similar incident occurred just a day earlier, when a van was stopped by the police in Storkow (Mark). The vehicle, which was equipped with Dahme-Spreewald district license plates, could not be legally used on the road because the license plates were not sealed. The 40-year-old driver now faces a complaint and had to abandon his car.
The situation in Brandenburg
The incidents in Eisenhüttenstadt and Storkow fit into a larger picture of increasing crime in the area of residential burglaries. Burglaries, like those that occur in Eisenhüttenstadt, place a heavy burden on those affected. According to statistics from 2023, around 119,000 thefts in and out of apartments were recorded in Germany. Of these, around 77,800 are considered residential burglaries, which means that the perpetrators forced their way into the living space. This number is the highest level since 2019 and sheds light on the security situation in many regions, especially in urban federal states such as Berlin or Hamburg, where the risk of such incidents is known to be high Statista.
What is also worrying is the low clearance rate for residential burglaries, which was only 14.9 percent in 2023. For many victims, the break-in not only causes material damage, but also leaves behind psychological wounds and a feeling of insecurity within their own four walls. The perpetrators often got into the apartments through violence, trickery or using keys. It is urgently necessary that both the police and citizens invest in protecting their living spaces and take measures to prevent burglary, as recommended on polizei-beratung.de.
Everyday reality shows that burglaries are not just numbers, but affect people deeply. This makes it all the more important to be vigilant and to act quickly in the event of suspicion. The police are still needed to counteract these trends and maintain security in our cities.
