Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) - Has the changed living environment in the Corona year 2020 also had an impact on crime?

Answers can be provided by the presentation of the police crime statistics for Frankfurt this Thursday.

Police President Gerhard Bereswill then presents the development of crime in the Main metropolis last year.

The video conference will also deal with the action in 2020.

It is already known from the Hessian crime statistics presented last week that crime has fallen across the country for the fourth year in a row.

According to the Ministry of the Interior, the police registered 342,423 crimes in all of Hesse, 6.1 percent fewer than in the previous year.

Lockdown and home office meant fewer opportunities for some perpetrators: In Hesse, for example, burglaries fell by almost 24 percent compared to the previous year.
