”Most of the time, they use objects found in gardens to enter through the upper floors of homes. We can think of ladders and garden furniture for example. The windows left open (even tilt-and-turn) on the 1st floor also make their work easier. It takes very little time for the authors to break in.”
Crime on the web has increased significantly in Walloon Brabant
Overall, the Walloon Brabant areas also saw an increase in burglaries committed in November. “The proportion of acts committed in November is higher than those of previous years: 16% of the total in 2023, 12% in 2022 and 10% in 2021”, continue the police zones, which specify that burglars mainly act between 6 p.m. 10 p.m., or 41% of burglaries during this period of the day.
The police provide some basic advice: put away ladders, garden furniture and other objects that make climbing easier when possible, close the windows on the 1st floor, do not leave blatant signs of absence (overflowing mailboxes, shutters closed for a long period, etc.). Police zones can send, on request, a technoprevention advisor who will provide advice to improve home security.
