Environmental Protection Legislation Under Review by the Commission
The Rhein-Erft-Kreis Police have extended their strategic investigation into thefts from tradespeople's vehicles by 28 days, as announced by County Commissioner Frank Rock on September 12, 2025. This strategic investigation allows the police to carry out person and vehicle checks in a temporally and locally defined area without a specific initial suspicion.
Since the beginning of the year, police officers in Rhein-Erft-Kreis have recorded over 350 incidents of thefts from tradespeople's vehicles. The majority of cases were detected by officers in Kerpen, Hürth, and Bergheim. Compared to the months of January 2025 to April 2025, the number of incidents decreased significantly in May.
The police have taken over a hundred criminal reports and enforced over 500 administrative offenses since the beginning of the strategic investigation. The seizure of tools used by the perpetrators has supplemented the investigation results and provided valuable insights into the methods of the criminals.
It is advised not to leave valuable items visible in vehicles, and it is always best to remove them when leaving and parking. In case of suspicious observations, contact the police immediately under the emergency number 110.
The figures presented may still change and are subject to the proviso that offenses may be reclassified during investigations. A final assessment is often only possible at a later date and after further investigations.
The results of the strategic investigation by the Rhein-Erft-Kreis Police can aid other police authorities in developing new investigative approaches. The information provided is from the Polizei Rhein-Erft-Kreis, transmitted via news aktuell.
