Invasion of privacy
In around half of the cases, it remains an attempted break-in because the perpetrators did not get into the apartments or houses or did not steal anything. Nevertheless, rummaging through cupboards and drawers is an invasion of your privacy. This is often more serious than a material loss. It is therefore important that citizens seek advice on the possibilities of home burglary protection in order to better protect their own living space.
With the campaign against home burglary, the police in NRW - with the help of citizens - are putting a stop to the perpetrators.
The core of the campaign is the threefold bar against burglars:
- Watch out for suspicious people and situations.
- If you suspect anything, call the police immediately on 110.
- Get neutral and free advice on burglary protection from your police.
Important:
Burglars can break in at any time of day. It often happens during the day when the residents are "only away for a moment". In the winter months, they take advantage of the early darkness. The perpetrators are in a hurry and take advantage of every opportunity.
