In Berlin, the number of perfidious acid burglaries is accumulated, which undoubtedly pose a considerable danger for tenants. Criminals use a particularly dangerous method: they use concentrated nitric acid to destroy the castle cylinder of apartment doors and penetrate the apartments unnoticed. According to n-tv.de , a total of 318 such acts were counted in the capital between 2022 and early summer, whereby 151 of the attempted plumps failed. The perpetrators mainly focus on renovated prefabricated buildings in the districts of Lichtenberg and Marzahn-Hellersdorf, where there is a certain anonymity due to frequent change of residents.

If you are sure, spray the dangerous acid into the castle, which enables you to penetrate the apartments almost silently. This unscrupulousness has unsettled many Berliners, as a person concerned describes on Facebook: "In Marzahn it continues with break -ins with break -ins", he describes that the perpetrators first contaminate the door spy with a substance to ensure that nobody is at home. This also reports Berlin Live .
