Secure your home: police warn of burglaries in Hamburg!

The dark season begins and thus also the high season for burglars in Hamburg! The police have published important tips for the upcoming change to winter time and autumn holidays to prevent burglaries. Burglaries often not only leave material damage, but also affect the feeling of security of the residents.

The police advise you to always complete doors and windows, even if you only leave the house for a short time. Tilted windows are an invitation sign for perpetrators! Important note: Never hide keys outside - the burglars discover that quickly. Also pay attention to suspicious people and do not provide any evidence of your absence in social media or answering words. Hamburgers can also contact their local police commissioner to get personal security tips.

Particularly worrying is a new stitch: burglars mark doors with adhesive threads to find out whether the residents are absent for longer. In the event of suspected cases, it is strongly advised to inform the police immediately on 040/4286-56789. Further information on burglary can be found here.
