Burglars use vacation time: This is how Grossenhain protects itself!

Großenhain, Deutschland - The summer vacation has started and with them the high time of the burglars. This is not only shown in large cities such as Cologne, where there are numerous break -ins, but also in more rural regions. A 72-year-old Großenhainer has discovered a striking observation pattern in the past few days: while she is guarding the mailbox of her neighbors on vacation, she noticed a gray van with a "foreign number", which drove through the street suspiciously and continued to hold. Their instinctive action could possibly have prevented worse things, reports the Sächsische Zeitung. In this context, the Dresden police department does not have any current reports on burglaries in Grossenhain, but the vigilance of the neighbors is highlighted as an important prevention measure.

Burglars often use the absence of residents to search for valuable objects undisturbed. A quick look at the current burglar statistics shows that a burglary is registered every six minutes in Germany. Statistically speaking, the damage is also not to be despised: on average, they have increased to 3,800 euros per break -in, which means an increase of 200 euros compared to the previous year. This is urgently advised by the high costs, and experts urgently advise you on solid household insurance and effective burglary protection.
