Overview
- Police in Moers, Hallbergmoos, and Gilching reported forced-entry burglaries over the Easter holidays that led to thefts of cash and valuables.
- In Moers, two hospitality businesses on Homberger Straße were hit overnight between April 2 and 3, and detectives are assessing whether one crew carried out both break-ins.
- Hallbergmoos officers said burglars smashed a window at a single-family home during the residents’ absence and took at least €5,000 in cash, with about €1,000 in window damage.
- In Gilching, intruders broke a ground-floor rear window and stole a men’s watch and jewelry worth several thousand euros, which the owners discovered after returning from a trip.
- Investigations remain open with no arrests announced, and police appeals point to offenders exploiting holiday travel to target unoccupied homes and small businesses.
