Summer-oriented campaign on burglary prevention launched in Fürth, Hessen; involves collaboration between police and local mayors

In a joint effort to enhance awareness and minimise the risk of burglaries during the vacation period, the Hessian police and the municipality of Fürth organised a burglary prevention campaign in the town centre of Fürth, Germany.

The event, which took place at a police prevention stand, saw the participation of Criminal Chief Commissioner Michael Fix, Police Chief Commissioner Annika Netzer, and Fürth's mayor, Volker Oehlenschläger. The advice provided during the campaign was part of a broader summer campaign by the Hessian police, aimed at strengthening prevention measures against burglaries.

The advice focused on effective ways to protect houses and apartments when residents are away. Simple measures such as locking doors and windows securely, installing motion-activated lights, and using timers for indoor lights were emphasised as making a significant difference in burglary prevention.

The campaign also offered tips on how to secure bicycles properly, highlighting the importance of locking bicycles to a solid object and using a high-quality lock.
