Taufkirchen cannot be called a stronghold of crime.
At least that is what the current report by Siegfried Graf, head of the responsible police station Unterhaching, suggests, which he presented at the citizens' meeting in Taufkirchen.
Still there were more missions.
Taufkirchen
- there were around 30 percent more missions last year - but that is mainly due to the corona pandemic.
"It was about disturbances of the peace, groups that stood close together despite contact restrictions and similar incidents," said Graf.
“We always tried to proceed with a sense of proportion.” He cannot confirm the assumption that quarrels at home often escalated during the lockdown and that there were violent acts.
103 so-called brutality crimes are listed in 2020 - three more than in the previous year.
Of these, 42 were assault cases.
A lot of frustration with some about the corona situation
Damage to property has also risen very slightly: the police recorded 80 in 2020, compared to 78 in the previous year. “For example, young people damaged things in the sports park,” says Graf.
There was also a lot of frustration because of the corona situation.
The thefts have become a little more - there were 139 in 2020. Of these, however, only seven home burglaries - “as bad as it is for those affected, but overall there are very few,” explained Graf.
A classic among thefts: the winter tires that are stolen from the underground car park.
"This is particularly relevant at this time of the year," said Graf and warned not to store winter tires unsecured.
More and more fraud
What he and his colleagues are increasingly dealing with is fraud.
They have increased by ten percent.
The main focus is on internet fraud.
People who order something and then never get it, be it via platforms such as Ebay classifieds or via fraudulent websites.
"Be sensitive to your data, too," warned Graf.
The abuse of credit card data is common.
Because Corona restricted people's mobility, there were 248 traffic accidents last year (2019: 274).
40 people were slightly injured, four seriously.
Among them were twelve bicycle accidents.
There are no points in the community where crashes are particularly frequent.
"Whereby we keep an eye on a few intersections and the development there."
