Höxter, Deutschland - Höxter (ots)

The Höxter district police authority draws attention to an alarming development: In 2024, an increase in the break -in was recorded compared to the previous year. This increase happens particularly in the dark season when many burglars take advantage of the cover of the darkness to penetrate undisturbed into residential buildings.

In view of this situation, the police call on the population to actively take measures to protect their ownership. Simple but effective security measures can already make a big difference. Good lighting outdoors, as well as inside the house, can deter potential perpetrators. The installation of systems that appear that the house is inhabited is also a worthwhile investment.

proactive security measures

Albert Ecke, the technical security consultant of the Höxter district police authority, explains: "A well -lit home is an effective protection against break -ins. No burglar is happy to be in the spotlight." He describes a typical scenario of how unlit houses can attract the attention of perpetrators. In contrast, neighboring houses that are illuminated can be perceived as safer, which means that unsecured houses become a target.

A simple but basic security concept is to secure windows and doors when leaving the house. The police emphasize that windows on Kipp are an invitation for burglars. "A window standing on the tilting is an open window," warns corner and adds that doors should not only be drawn, but should also be completed.

These films, which are part of the burglary burglary, are available on YouTube and provide valuable tips and insights into the working methods of burglars.
