Burglar at dawn: master baker stops brazen robbery attempt!
On the night of May 30, 2025, around 3:40 a.m., a group of perpetrators tried to break into a bakery in March-Holzhausen, Baden-Württemberg.

Background to juvenile crime
This incident reflects worrying trends in juvenile crime. According to current statistics, youth violence in Germany reached a peak in 2024 with around 13,800 cases, more than twice as high as in 2016. The reasons for the increase are diverse and include, among other things, psychological stress caused by the corona pandemic as well as specific risk factors that particularly affect young people seeking protection. Despite a decline in young suspects of around 6 percent in 2024, the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are young males. In 2024, almost three quarters of the suspects were male Statista.
The discussion about the application of criminal law to children under the age of 14, especially in the case of serious crimes, and the consideration of tougher sanctions in juvenile criminal law are part of a broader social debate about possible measures to combat crime. However, experts also emphasize the need for increased preventive programs in child and youth welfare to prevent criminal careers.
In the context of this incident, it is important to point out that not all young people become delinquents and many grow up in positive conditions. Society is faced with the challenge of creating appropriate help and prevention services in order to avoid an increase in youth crime in the future. Press portal provides information about the investigation and the current status of youth safety.
