Pickpockets on the rod: Mrs. Stabil in the Gronau supermarket!

In the tranquil city of Gronau/Leine, there was an unpleasant incident in the local supermarket last Friday. As the news.de , a woman was reported between 11:00 and 12:00 p.m. stolen. The police have already initiated initial investigations and asks witnesses to report to the police commissioner Elze if they have made suspicious observations.

The incident is part of a worrying series of thefts in the region. According to the district police, further theft was also reported on a parking lot on Möllenweg on Friday. Here, unknown people stole a wallet from an unchecked car between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., such as the wn.de reported. This trend towards thefts runs through the last few days, because on Saturday there was also a similar incident in the consumer market on Ochtruper Straße at 11:30 a.m.

The police warn of pickpockets

Here a customer was stolen from her handbag directly from her handbag, which was hung on the shopping cart. The description of the perpetrator, who is to be about 45 to 60 years old and is said to be 1.60 to 1.65 meters tall, suggests a targeted procedure. She wore a gray-green quilted jacket and had a blue shopper bag with her that was wearing a discount name.

The police inform that pickpockets take advantage of the crowds in supermarkets. Short touches or bumpers are often not noticeable in the stress of shopping. In view of the fact that many consumer markets do not have video surveillance, it is important to remain vigilant. In the past, over 344,000 cases of shoplifting have been recorded in Germany alone, and the number of thefts has increased in recent years, as well as statistics by Statista shows.

security measures and tips

In order to protect themselves from possible thefts, the police recommend that they stow valuables in firmly closed inner pockets and keep money and papers in different pockets. Breast bags or special belt inner bags offer additional protection. The position of the bag, which should ideally be carried to the body with the closure side, also plays a crucial role.

The security situation in Germany remains tense, and despite a general prevention against crime, citizens must be vigilant, especially in lively business. The police data show that thefts are a serious problem that must not be ignored. In Gronau and the surrounding area, a call for help is given to prevent further such incidents.
