Burglars and fraudsters on the trail: safety tips for Korneuburg

Last Tuesday, an informative event took place in the party room of the SPÖ Korneuburg, which dealt with the current threats by burglars and tricksters. Many citizens were invited to learn more about security measures during the lecture "Safe in Korneuburg". Vice Mayor Bernadette Haider-Wittmann and Elfriede Pudgar, the chairwoman of the pensioners' association, welcomed those present and gave an overview of the topics of the evening.

The police inspectors Markus Zaruba from Ernstbrunn and Eder from Korneuburg shared extensive insights into their daily work and urged the tactics that often use criminals. The two officials explained how important it is to be vigilant and what simple measures can be taken to better protect your home.

Tips for burglary prevention

A point that was particularly emphasized during the event is the perception of unusual behavior in the neighborhood. The police recommend that the authorities immediately notify suspicious activities. The experts also reported the importance of always securing doors and windows well and not leaving any valuables in the room. A small detail that many do not consider is that simple light switches or timer on the outside light can help to make the house appear inhabited.

In addition to the practical advice for protection against burglaries, the police also gave tips on avoiding tricksters. This includes never revealing personal information on the phone and, above all, being suspicious if someone taps the door unexpectedly. "It is important to be skeptical," says Inspector Eder.

These preventive measures are not only important for older people who are often the main goal of tricksters. However, younger people are also asked to take the same precautionary measures. The discussions and the exchange with the citizens made it clear how great the interest in security issues in the community is.

The event was received very positively by the participants. Many of those present expressed gratefully for the information and named the event as an important step towards raising awareness of the dangers that exist today.

Finally, it should be noted that such educational events are crucial to promote security awareness in the community. The exchange with the police is a valuable contribution to informing citizens about prevention opportunities. More details on this important topic are At www.noen.at to find.
