Thieves strike: Life -saving devices made of Schwedter Feuerwache stolen!

Unknown perpetrators stole significant rescue technology from a fire station in Schwedt (Uckermark) on Saturday, June 7, 2025. A spokesman for the Schwedt fire brigade confirmed the break -in and reported on stored special tools, including hydraulic scissors and spreaders. These devices are of crucial importance for opening accident vehicles and the liberation of trapped people. The total value of the stolen equipment amounts to several thousand euros and is increasingly used by criminals for burglaries. An example of this is the spectacular slump in the green vault in Dresden, in which burglars cut iron bars with a stolen cutting tool. Last year, the police were able to arrest four suspects who are said to be responsible for numerous break -ins in Feuerwachen in Berlin and Brandenburg.

The problem of theft in fire guards is additionally tightened by outdated alarm systems. According to information from

The big effects

An insight into the general burglar statistics shows that almost every second slump due to the time the perpetrators need to get into the house fails. Mechanical fuses on windows and doors are the most effective measures to deter potential burglars. As described on gdv.de , burglar-resistant house and apartment doors can also be a meaningful investment in safety.

To prevent burglaries, fire stations and other facilities that store valuable tools and technology should check their security measures and, if necessary, adjust. Mechanical fuses should be closely combined with tested alarm systems to ensure a higher level of security.
