Attention from fraudsters: How to protect your home from burglaries!

The Delmenhorst and Harburg police inspections raise the alarm: fraudsters and thieves use the brazen methods to trick careless homeowners. In Sprötze near Buchholz, the perpetrators used an open terrace door and stolen cash and a gold chain, while the injured party was employed in the garden. A few days later, a similar incident was reported in which a man was surprised by an unknown woman who had gained access through an unlocked front door.

The police particularly warn of the dangers of false waterworks and bank employees. Although these fraudsters present themselves as trustworthy service providers, they only have the goal of stealing valuables from their victims' households. While a person creates distraction, an accomplice searches the living rooms by valuables unnoticed. "Always keep your doors locked, even if you just go out for a short moment," the police warn.
