Police in Basel-Landschaft have arrested two men on suspicion of burglary, following separate incidents in Therwil and Allschwil. The first arrest happened on Thursday, 5 November 2026, shortly after 20:20. After an reported break-in in Oberwil, a police patrol spotted a suspicious vehicle near Therwil. Before officers could control the car, the driver fled. The vehicle was later left in a dead-end, and the man ran off on foot. A 37-year-old Romanian citizen was arrested in the municipality of Therwil. A second arrest followed on Friday, 6 November 2026, shortly after 23:10, during a Schwerpunktaktion at Grabenring in Allschwil. Officers stopped a 22-year-old French citizen and the suspicion hardened that he could be linked to residential burglary offences. He was detained for further investigations. The public prosecutor’s office in Basel-Landschaft opened criminal proceedings in both cases and applied for pre-trial detention with the detention court. Investigations are ongoing. Police said they stepped up their presence and are carrying out targeted checks due to the usual rise in break-ins as winter time begins. These measures are set to continue in the coming weeks.
