Grünwald remains in the sights of burglary gangs

The affluent suburban municipality of Munich continues to be affected by a wave of criminal activity. The most recent incident occurred in May 2025, when unknown perpetrators violently broke into a residential home.

Course of the crime and damage

The criminals gained access to the property by forcibly breaking open a terrace door. They systematically searched all rooms of the house in search of valuables. Their “loot”: high-quality jewelry and exclusive watches worth several tens of thousands of euros.

Unhindered, the perpetrators were able to flee the scene of the crime without revealing their identity.

Police investigations in full swing

The Munich criminal investigators immediately responded and meticulously secured all available traces at the scene. The specialized division 53 has taken over the ongoing investigation.

Appeal for witnesses intensified

The investigators are urgently dependent on public assistance. In particular, people who noticed unusual activity on the specified Thursday evening between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. in the following streets are asked to come forward:

Heinz-Rühmann-Straße
Graf-Seyssel-Straße
Muffatstraße

Contact details and technical investigation

Information is received by:

The criminal police also appeal to homeowners with surveillance cameras to check their recordings. Even cameras covering only private property could contain crucial footage of the fleeing suspects.

The investigation into this series of property crimes is ongoing. Police are increasing their presence in the affected region.
