With around 70 emergency services, the police carried out a large-scale road check near Emmendingen on Thursday. The aim of the campaign: to track down burglars and thieves.
In the Emmendingen district and in Breisach (Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district), around 70 police officers checked dozens of cars on Thursday. The officers carried out random searches, especially in conspicuous vehicles. The aim of the campaign is to reduce the number of crimes. Specifically, it is about detecting and preventing theft. In addition, the pressure to control potential burglars should be increased.
Michael Schorr, spokesman for the Freiburg police headquarters, on the large road check near Emmendingen:
Road checks in two districts
The operation started on Thursday afternoon on the L113 near Endingen near the French border. The emergency services later split up – one group checked in Herbolzheim, another at the border crossing in Breisach.
Frankenthal
After there were several attempted break-ins in Frankenthal, the police are now giving citizens simple tips on how they can protect themselves.
Beginning of the dark season – more break-ins
In recent weeks, the Freiburg police headquarters have registered more break-ins and thefts. This is due, among other things, to the beginning of the dark season, according to the police. But there are also more property crimes this year compared to last year.
“This major inspection is an important component in combating the increasing number of cases in the area of property crime.”
Further major inspections in the coming weeks
The Freiburg police headquarters is planning similar large-scale checks in the coming weeks at other locations where a particularly large number of crimes occur. The aim is to catch criminals in the act. Police also hope this will prevent future crimes.
