Police cannot prevent burglaries alone. Therefore, citizens are asked for their help. Suspicious situations can be reported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by calling 101.
What is considered suspicious? Police ask residents to be alert to unknown individuals loitering in the neighborhood or vehicles with unfamiliar (foreign) license plates. The circumstances and the resident's intuition are important, as they know their neighborhood best.
Reporting suspicious situations increases the chance that police can find and check the person or vehicle in the area, which can help prevent thefts. The police emphasize that every call is taken seriously, even if nothing is found after the check.
When in doubt, it is advised to call anyway and provide as many details as possible, such as a description of the person or vehicle, the license plate, and the direction of travel. Police stress that a phone call can make a difference.
