Tourists holidaying in German resorts by the Baltic Sea struggle to sleep peacefully. In Ahrenshoop and Dierhagen, a series of audacious thefts and break-ins at holiday homes has occurred. The police are seeking witnesses to the crimes.

Local German media is reporting the case. A burglar is known to be prowling along the Baltic coast in Germany. The police confirm that over the past few weeks, there have been at least seven instances of audacious theft and several break-ins at holiday resorts.

These cases of holiday theft were noted in Ahrenshoop and Dierhagen, popular German Baltic Sea resorts. In Dierhagen, a woman lost her wallet. The thief entered the resort premises, pretending to look for a key. When the 60-year-old tried to help, she was robbed.

In similar circumstances, a backpack with documents and money disappeared. Electric bicycles and elements of a photovoltaic installation were also stolen. Since mid-July, many instances of theft have been noted, all connected by a similar modus operandi.
