Two thieves caught in Charlottenburg: police thanks watchful citizens!
In Berlin-Charlottenburg, the police officers arrested two men aged 25 and 34 in the early morning of May 29, 2025. This arrest was made after several attempted thefts from vans. At around 2 a.m., the emergency services watched the suspects on the Geißlerpfad, where they were in the process of carrying out vehicle break -off. The police had previously attempted and completed burglaries and finally arrested the two gentlemen when other emergency services were on site. During the search of the vehicle of the older man, who was traveling without a driver's license, crime tools and stolen goods were found. This vehicle was confiscated as an act. Both men are said to be presented to an investigation court to apply for ceremonial recruitment commands today.
In addition, there was a recent incident in the region, in which a police officer from the Federal Police in Charlottenburg shot a fleeing car. This incident occurred on Wednesday at around 12 p.m. A civil servant had observed a trick theft in the Kantstraße, in which the suspects were able to fled with a car and almost approached the officials. According to the T-Online, the police officer shot the vehicle after giving the suspect. The perpetrators escaped towards the zoological garden station. Before that, they had stopped a woman who was on the way to withdraw a larger cash amount and finally stole a five -digit amount. The police initially estimated the sum at 10,000 euros, but later corrected this amount to around 15,000 euros. The suspects drove in a VW with a Hamburg license plate, with a tire of their escape vehicle being hit on the shots. Notes on this can be given to the emergency call 110.crime development in Berlin
In addition to the current incidents, the latest crime statistics from 2023 show an interesting trend in Berlin: While the number of thefts generally increases, the number of bicycle thefts has dropped significantly. In the years 2022 and 2023, around 28,800 bicycles were reported as stolen. Police President Barbara Slovic Meisel has highlighted the importance of prevention work, which is supported by measures such as bicycle registrations and information campaigns. Particularly modern security systems such as alarm systems and GPS trackers are becoming more important, while burglaries in basement rooms are increasing, which is partly due to inadequate security measures.
In 2023, a troubling number of 39,149 reported shoplifting was registered, the highest level in decade. Experts suspect that the number of unreported cases is significantly higher than the reported cases. The Berlin police are closely cooperating with the authorities in Brandenburg and Poland to effectively combat organized thefts. In order to counteract the increase in thefts, increased security measures are introduced in shops, which may lead to a decline in the shoplifting in 2024.
