Criminal investigators solicit public's help following incidents of home invasions.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a car was targeted for theft in Herten. A surveillance camera captured two suspects attempting to steal the vehicle on Nordring at around 00:40 AM. The description of the second suspect is currently unknown, while the first suspect is described as wearing a light baseball cap, light vest, and a dark t-shirt. The individuals fled unsuccessfully.

Later that night, around 00:46, four suspects were caught on video surveillance attempting a break-in on Christine-Englerth-Straße in Recklinghausen. The perpetrators fled the scene without any apparent reason, and it remains unclear whether any stolen goods were taken. A neighbor observed three men in the area who then drove away in a car, which may be connected to the incident.

On Saturday afternoon, unknown perpetrators broke into a single-family home on the street "Buchenhöfe" between 12:45 PM and 14:20 PM. The garage door was severely damaged during the attempted break-in, but it is still unclear whether any stolen goods were taken.

Later in the day, between 10:30 AM and 13:30 PM, perpetrators broke into a row house on Barkenberger Allee in Recklinghausen. The perpetrators forced the front door and searched the rooms for loot, but it remains unclear whether any stolen goods were taken during this incident as well.
