Wiesbaden police seek help to catch serial commercial burglar after 50 break-ins

The Wiesbaden Criminal Police are once again turning to the public for help in the case of a series of break-ins at commercial properties. This was reported by the Police Headquarters Westhessen. The currently unidentified man is suspected of committing a large number of break-ins in the early morning hours since July 2024, with the series now comprising around 50 cases. The crime scenes were predominantly located in the districts of Rheingauviertel, Biebrich, Stadtmitte, and Westend. Despite previous investigations and two earlier public appeals on April 10 (as previously reported) and June 5, 2025 (as previously reported), the suspect has not been apprehended. The Criminal Police therefore once again ask the public for assistance in finding the man. Anyone who recognizes the person in the pictures or has information about their whereabouts is asked to contact the Wiesbaden Criminal Police (K21/22) at the telephone number (0611) 345-0. Tips can also be sent to any other police station or by email to K21/[email protected]. *Further photos can be found here:*
