Burglaries in Nuremberg schools: Perpetrators on the run - police investigated!

In the Nuremberg area, the alarm was again raised: unknown perpetrators have returned to several schools. From Friday to Saturday, criminal access to two school buildings in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district gained themselves. The perpetrators not only burned doors and office frames unabashedly, but also ransacked several rooms according to valuables. From the schools they stole cash and other objects worth several hundred euros. The total damage is estimated to be around 6,500 euros. Among other things, a primary and middle school in Mühlhausen as well as a primary school and a daycare center in Höchstadt on the Aisch were affected.

Before, on the night of Friday, several schools and a daycare center in the Nuremberg Land district have already broken open, with a few hundred euros from a safe. These burglaries are not the first of their kind; Since April 2023 there has been a series of attacks in schools in Franconia. As borkenerzeitung.de , two 21-year-old suspicious were temporarily arrested at the beginning of June. However, a 23-year-old perpetrator has been in custody since May after he was found in Baden-Württemberg in a fresh act.

These incidents also highlight a bigger problem: violence and crime in schools. According to Statista.com Violence is a common topic in the media. Almost every second teacher in Germany has already observed violence among schoolchildren.

A close-meshed network of security and prevention measures is now the responsibility of schools and local authorities. The police will continue to examine the break -in in the Franconia area and hope to bring more light into the dark. One thing is one thing: the security in schools must be an absolute priority.
