Over 200 Safe Deposit Boxes Burglarized at Lübeck Deutsche Bank Branch

Authorities are investigating the large-scale theft of valuables and seeking witnesses to the pre-Christmas break-in.

More than 200 safe deposit boxes were broken into at a Deutsche Bank branch in Lübeck shortly before Christmas, with valuables such as jewelry, cash, and personal items stolen.
The police responded to an alarm on December 21 and surrounded the building but found no suspects at the scene.
Investigators are analyzing evidence, including witness statements, and have set up a dedicated tip line for victims and the public to provide information.
Police are requesting information from anyone who noticed suspicious activity, vehicles, or noises near the bank on the night of December 20-21 or has relevant photo or video footage.
Authorities are exploring potential links between this incident and a similar 2021 case in Norderstedt, where 650 safe deposit boxes were looted using a sophisticated method.
