Tasiest alarm: Police warn of thieves in supermarkets!

Kreis Groß-Gerau, Deutschland - In the past few weeks, the police in the Groß-Gerau district have found an alarming increase in pickpockets in retail stores and supermarkets. The perpetrators often take advantage of careless customers to steal wallets, cell phones and other valuables unnoticed. Especially brazen: Some handbags were dismantled or left unattended in the shopping cart, which offered the thieves a slight game. Even payment cards could be captured with which money was subsequently withdrawn.

The police urge the citizens to close valuables closely on their body and always keep bags closed. Special caution should be considered in crowds in order not to be the victim of theft. In the event of an incident, it is advisable to block the payment cards immediately and inform the police. Interested parties can find prevention information on the website of the police crime prevention.
