Chinese New Year is approaching the police how to prevent street theft

The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is time for citizens to buy and sell New Year's goods frequently in and out of consumer places. In these festive moments, how can we be vigilant so as not to leave the thief with an opportunity? The reporter interviewed the police in the park police station and Liunan police station in charge of public security management in the bustling commercial district to remind everyone of the street anti-theft.

Leave the car with the caretaker

Ten days ago, the police at the park police station caught a thief who stole a bicycle on the sidewalk in front of Kaifangba on Jiefang North Road. The thieves used the pliers to cut the soft lock while riding in the restaurant to buy food, and stolen a mountain bike worth thousands of yuan. Fortunately, plainclothes police patrolled, subdued the thief who had just stolen, and recovered the stolen bicycle.

The anti-theft performance of the soft lock is limited and cannot withstand the iron pliers of the thief. The reporter once asked Mr. Zhang Hongjun, a lock expert, what kind of car lock can effectively prevent thieves from prying. Zhang said that many thieves who specialize in theft of electric bicycles will use hydraulic tools to break the locks. Some hundreds of dollars of car lock materials are solid, the lock body is thick, and it has a certain resistance to the damage of the hydraulic shears, but it is very difficult to rely on the lock to completely resist the increasingly advanced broken lock equipment of the thief. of. If the thieves have enough time to use hydraulic tools to break the lock, most locks will fail. The most reliable way is to leave the car to the caregivers.

The reporter carefully checked the recent report records of the area under the jurisdiction of the park police station, and found that the theft of electric vehicles occurred in areas where no vehicle caretaker was responsible. For example, there is a caregiver keeping the car downstairs on the Central Building of Park Road, and no car theft has occurred. But just across the road from Jinyun's building, electric cars were stolen.

The police suggested that the public should try to hand over the parked vehicles to the caregiver for help.

Outer pockets are the most vulnerable to theft

It can be seen from the police report that the most thefts in the bustling commercial area are still theft of mobile phones. And the most common is that the mobile phone placed in the outer pocket of the jacket is stolen. Victims are mostly women, and thieves choose female targets to start, mainly considering that once exposed, they have a physical advantage and are relatively easy to get out.

The most common scenario is that the female citizen who is shopping just after answering the phone, inserts the phone into the pocket on the outside of the coat, and then concentrates on selecting a dazzling array of products. At this time, the thieves who had been waiting for the opportunity as early as possible could easily steal the phone. Winter clothing is usually thicker, and the small movements in the pockets of the jacket are hard to alert the victim.

There is also a more common type of mobile phone theft that occurs in entertainment venues. The police suggested that people should put their valuables such as mobile phones and wallets in the inner pockets of their clothes when shopping or gathering with relatives and friends; or put them in a shoulder bag, which should always be placed in front of them.

Merchants should strengthen anti-theft facilities

Another common type is the bag case, which occurs from time to time in restaurants, shopping malls, and parks.

The police reminded the public to go out and stay at all times. If you need to try on clothes and shoes during the shopping process, and when it is really inconvenient to carry the bag, you must tell your relatives and friends to help you take it, not to put it on the counter or stool.

At the end of last month, the Liunan police station police were in the Feige Mall and captured a bag thief. The bag case occurred in a restaurant in August last year. The reason why the thieves were successfully arrested 4 months after the case was reported was completely dependent on the surveillance video of the restaurant. The police suggest that qualified businesses should install security devices such as monitoring probes in the business premises. This can not only provide clues and evidence for the police to solve the case, but also be a powerful deterrent to the criminals.

Right now, some thieves eager to find money for the New Year are hungry. In recent days, there have also been cases in which a few street kiosks were pried, and small amounts of property such as loose change were stolen. The police reminded large and small businesses to strengthen anti-theft measures recently.
