Overview

  • Unidentified intruders gained access to a primary and secondary school in Mühlhausen and a primary school with a kindergarten in Höchstadt an der Aisch overnight from June 13 to 14, causing about €6,500 in damage and stealing several hundred euros.
  • Earlier this week, several schools and a daycare center in the Nürnberger Land district were burglarized, with perpetrators making off with several hundred euros in cash from a safe.
  • Authorities have recorded a series of break-ins at Franconia schools since April, but police say the full extent of the damage and total loot across all incidents remains unknown.
  • Police briefly detained two 21-year-olds in early June before releasing them and continue to hold a 23-year-old suspect arrested in May for a related school break-in in Baden-Württemberg.
  • Officers from the Polizeipräsidium Mittelfranken are probing whether the recent Nuremberg-area burglaries are linked to the wider series affecting schools across Franconia.
