Bochum Police Release Residential Burglary Map for Public

The Bochum Police have released a map detailing the locations of residential burglaries that occurred in the past week across the districts of Bochum, Herne, and Witten. The map is designed to help residents understand the locations of past burglaries in their district, with the aim of increasing citizen engagement in the topic of residential burglaries and encouraging residents to take steps to secure their homes.

The map, titled "36.KW_WED-Radar_29.08.2025-04.09.2025.pdf", is a 4.2 MB PDF and can be accessed on the Bochum Police's official website. However, it does not provide specific street or house number details due to data protection concerns.

The Bochum Police are urging citizens to be alert and to call '110' in the fight against residential burglaries. They also encourage residents to contact the Crime Prevention and Victim Support Department of the Bochum Police for questions regarding protection against residential burglaries. The department can be reached at 0234 909-4040.

It is important to note that the map does not show the exact locations of the burglary sites, i.e., the streets and house numbers, due to data protection reasons. The document was issued by the Bochum Police, and the Polizei Bochum Press Office can be contacted for further inquiries. Jens Artschwager can be reached at 0234 909 1023, via email at [email protected], or on the official website at https://bochum.polizei.nrw/.

The Bochum Police want residents in their district to feel safe in their own homes, and they hope that the release of this map will help residents take the necessary steps to secure their properties and feel more confident in their safety.
