Overview

• Police confirmed a recent rise in break-ins across the Schwalm‑Eder district, with parish houses in Lischeid, Sebbeterode, Hebel and Jesberg among the targets.
• At least one parish house burglary involved a stolen safe and multiple sacral objects, which authorities note are attractive to thieves for their metal value and resale potential.
• Officials reported that 24 safes were stolen in both 2023 and 2024 in the Schwalm‑Eder area, while the current 2025 tally remains below that figure pending year-end statistics.
• In Schliersee, unknown offenders broke into a flat early on September 20 and fled without loot, prompting a Kripo Miesbach appeal for witnesses and renewed prevention advice.
• In the Werra‑Meißner area overnight into Tuesday, investigators logged a failed VW Touareg theft with a suspect description, a stolen blue Mitsubishi Z30, and a red VW Touran taken, with possible links under review, while Offenbach police separately arrested a 35‑year‑old in a sting to recover a rental bike reported stolen in June.
