In the heart of Braunschweig, a shocking incident took place on a Monday morning, August 18, 2025. A break-in was reported at an inner-city school located on Oswald-Berkhan-Straße.

The security company employee, patrolling the area, noticed a suspicious bicycle and unusual noises coming from the school building around 03:30h. Alerted by this, they immediately contacted the police.

The police were on the scene within minutes, securing the area and collecting evidence. Upon investigation, they discovered a 51-year-old man hiding near the school. The man was found with burglary tools and suspected stolen goods, leading initial investigations to suggest he is the burglar who broke into the school.
