Law enforcers seek individuals with information relevant to an ongoing investigation.

In the early hours of July 21, 2025, an intriguing series of events unfolded in Recklinghausen and its neighbouring towns.

The most notable incident occurred on Beethovenstraße in Herten, where unknown perpetrators committed a burglary. The culprits gained access to the sales area through the forced main entrance door, triggering an alarm. However, they managed to flee the supermarket undetected and did not steal any goods.

Meanwhile, in Waltrop, a break-in was reported at a supermarket on the early morning of the same day (03:55 AM). The perpetrators broke open the cigarette cabinets and made off with several boxes and packs.

A separate incident took place on Graudenzer Straße, where a break-in occurred at a single-family house between 10:00 AM on Sunday and 06:15 AM on Tuesday. The details regarding what, if anything, was taken are currently unclear, as the perpetrators forced open the garden gate and the cellar door to gain entry.
