Burglars Escape After Triggering Alarm During Bungalow Break-In

Wed 5th Mar, 2025

Korschenbroich - In the early hours of Tuesday, March 4th, an attempted burglary occurred at a bungalow located on Adolph-Kolping-Straße.

During their intrusion, the suspects created a hole in the drywall ceiling of the living room below. However, their actions inadvertently activated the property's alarm system, prompting them to flee the scene without taking any valuables.

The local police have launched an investigation into the incident and are appealing for witnesses to come forward. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Criminal Investigation Department at 02131 300-0.
