Series of Burglaries in Jerichower Land District - Nighttime burglaries hit five villages in Saxony-Anhalt over weekend

A string of nighttime burglaries struck the Jerichower Land district in Saxony-Anhalt over the weekend. Between Friday and Sunday, December 14, 2025, several single-family homes were targeted in five villages. Authorities have yet to identify any suspects in connection with the crimes.

The break-ins took place in Möckern, Theesen, Küsel, Niegripp, and Körbelitz. Each incident occurred under cover of darkness, with thieves focusing on residential properties. Police reports indicate that the total financial loss from stolen goods and property damage runs into tens of thousands of euros.

Officers are now calling on local residents for help. Anyone who saw suspicious people or vehicles in the affected areas—or who witnessed the burglaries directly—is asked to come forward. The investigation remains ongoing, with no arrests made so far.

Residents across the district have been advised to stay alert and report anything out of the ordinary to law enforcement. The police continue to gather evidence while urging the public to assist in identifying those responsible. No further details about the stolen items or specific break-in methods have been released.
