A break-in at home is a shocking event for many residents. In addition to the financial loss and the damage caused, many people are left with a feeling of fear and insecurity.
What many house and apartment owners don't know: Most conventional windows and doors do not offer sufficient protection against burglary.
According to crime statistics, around 940 such burglaries occurred in the Rhine district of Neuss last year. Almost half of the crimes were attempted, partly due to the availability of security technology.

Use the advice offered by your police and put a stop to burglars.
Protect yourself and, together with the police in the Rhine district of Neuss, make life difficult for burglars.
Burglary prevention starts at your own front door!
In addition to installing burglar-resistant technology, for example on doors and windows, you can also protect yourself from becoming a victim of burglars through careful behavior.
Tips:
"Burglars come at night..." - far from it
The crimes usually happen during the day when no one is at home, during school, work and shopping hours, in the early evening or at weekends. In the darker months of the year, burglars often take advantage of the early twilight. If a house is unlit during these months, there is much to suggest that the residents are not there.
Neighbourly help creates security
The police cannot be everywhere to prevent crime. But there are almost always neighbors who help each other. In an attentive neighborhood, burglars, thieves and fraudsters hardly stand a chance. Make an agreement with the residents in your street to consciously watch out for dangerous and suspicious situations. Watch out for strangers in the house or on the neighboring property and speak to them. Look after the home of neighbors who are absent for longer periods of time, e.g. by emptying the letterbox. The aim is to give the impression that the house is occupied. In the event of danger (calls for help, alarm system triggered) and in urgent cases of suspicion, call the police immediately on 110.
Don't be a hero - call 110!
Be careful! Burglars do not want to be discovered and will avoid any confrontation if possible. If you notice a burglar: Don't stand in their way! Instead, contact the police immediately and give as good a description as possible of the perpetrator and any getaway vehicle they may be using.
Light deters burglars!
At first glance, unlit homes in the dark give the impression that no one is at home and the burglars can go about their "work" undisturbed. Therefore, use timers in conjunction with energy-saving lamps to give the impression that you are at home.
Do not become an "entry helper"
Make it difficult for uninvited guests to enter your property by fencing them in. Garbage cans, garden furniture, etc. are suitable as climbing aids. They should be locked away or secured with a chain, for example.
Safe storage secures valuables
Do not leave your valuables lying around openly at home. Particularly important documents, valuable collections, gold or jewelry that is rarely used are best kept safe in a safe deposit box at your bank. Savings books, jewelry, cash and check forms that you want to keep at home should not be kept in a box, but in a safe deposit box. The safe should be hidden and firmly anchored. Also take pictures of particularly individual valuables and keep proof of purchase etc. in case the items are stolen.
The police use civilian and uniformed patrols to combat property crime and everyone can improve security within their own four walls.
Be alert and call the police on 110 immediately if you notice anything suspicious.
