In total, 8,333 cases of serious robbery and/or theft were recorded in the Nuremberg metropolitan region—or in Middle Franconia—in 2023; these were primarily serious residential and vehicle burglaries. Many of these offences affected commercial enterprises. Furthermore, 6,459 property and forgery offences were reported, the large majority of which caused damage to local companies. The main offences were fraud, embezzlement, document forgery and fraudulent acquisition of services.
Every fraud, every burglary, every embezzlement is a threat to your company, to you and to your workforce.

A conspicuous increase in offence numbers has most recently been observed in the area of goods and goods-credit fraud. The sharp rise in case numbers of +15.5 per cent (+225 cases) to now 1,679 can be partly explained by the freedom of movement within the European Union. Police investigations show that sham registrations of residence are being made in the city area of Nuremberg by Hungarian and Bulgarian nationals. With the registration certificates issued by the city administration, current accounts are opened at various banks. The debit cards thus obtained are then used to unlawfully purchase goods by direct debit. By the time the lack of account coverage becomes known to the victimised companies and collection claims go unpaid, the perpetrators have already left Nuremberg.
