Burglary – Prevention and Investigation by the Detectives of Kurtz Investigations Hamburg

The number of residential burglary cases in Hamburg is subject to constant fluctuations. While completed burglaries decreased by almost 50 percent over a 20-year period, attempted residential burglaries increased by 25 percent during the same time. These figures show that the citizens of our Hanseatic City have increasingly relied on security technology and burglary prevention. If perpetrators are unable to gain access to your flat or house within two minutes, they will usually abandon the attempt.

Robbery in Hamburg – Theft Using or Threatening Violence

Robbery is an offence against property committed through the use or threat of violence. This criminal offence (§ 249 StGB) can also be described as violent theft. Due to the use of violence, robbery carries a significantly greater severity than ordinary theft, which is why robbery is classified as a felony in legal practice, whereas theft is “only” a misdemeanour. Due to the general increase in the willingness to use violence, the number of robberies has developed contrary to the decline in burglary and has almost doubled in recent years. While in the case of burglary the perpetrator or perpetrators usually ensure the absence of the property owner, in the case of robbery the opposite is often true: the perpetrator or perpetrators not only accept confrontation with the victim but frequently act with brutal force.
