importance of prevention

The police point out that thefts often occur in supermarkets. Such incidents can be uncomfortable, but it is even more important that customers learn how to better protect their valuables. When shopping, wallets and similar items should not only be kept in pockets, but better in a closed part of the shopping cart or closely kept on the body. The use of interior pockets in jackets can also serve to protect valuables from long fingers.

Such crime incidents also remind us of the role of general vigilance in public. It is important to keep an eye on the surroundings and to clearly meet other people who could behave suspiciously. If each one has a little more attention, it could be possible to improve safety in shopping markets as a whole.

For detailed information about this incident and other developments, the police remain available and estimates the public to investigate crimes. Especially since they can often provide decisive information that helps with the identification of perpetrators. Details are still sparse, but www.presseportal.de
