Home burglaries in Sofia are decreasing, at the expense of those at the seaside. The reason is that thieves are also migrating to the resorts, it became clear from the comment to BTV by Ivan Raichev from the SDVR.
He advises that neighbors increase their vigilance for unusual noise. If they see unknown persons, they should immediately call 112, advises Raichev, who added that cameras in homes help the police a lot.
He explained that thieves mainly enter through the doors and windows on the lower floors. From Raichev's words, it became clear that most homes have low-class locks, which are very easy to overcome, and he advised us to install higher-class locks. For the lower floors, reinforcement is with reamers and bars.
Thieves go around during the day to target apartments with low-class locks. There are those who gather information through friends about the valuables in the victim's home. This contingent is very inventive, Raychev emphasized.
Mainly gold jewelry and money are stolen, as well as laptops. The State Department of Internal Affairs has launched more patrols to prevent home burglaries. Cars are mainly stolen in parking lots.
People, according to him, are becoming more vigilant, and this helps law enforcement officers a lot.
