Despite all the efforts of law enforcement agencies, each of us has a chance to become a victim of a robbery. How to protect yourself and your own home and how to detain a robber, if the crime is still committed?
Instruction manual
1
Take care of your safety in advance. Human carelessness greatly facilitates the work of criminals. Install the grilles on the windows, if you live on the first floor, take care of a reliable iron door and complex locks. When leaving, warn your neighbors about your absence. But what to do if you returned home and suddenly found the door of the apartment open?
2
The most important thing is not to panic. In no case do not rush into the apartment headlong. If the criminals are still there, their reaction is difficult to predict, and it is by no means a fact that they will be scared of you and surrender without a fight.
3
Please call the police immediately. The duty number is 02 or 020 if you are using a cell phone. Leave the porch or house.
4
Do not try to watch for escaping burglars. If they notice you, they will try to get rid of the witness, and your life and health are worth more than any material values.
5
If the criminals left the apartment, try not to touch anything before the police arrive. You can trample important evidence or erase fingerprints left by robbers.
6
Make a complete list of stolen items with their detailed description. Ideally, it’s useful to have photographs of each valuable item to make it easier to identify.
7
If you still saw the robbers, try to remember their appearance as best as possible. Any little thing: a tattoo, a scar or some other mark will help the police to quickly detain the criminal.
8
Try to recall if you have not noticed anything suspicious lately. Ask your neighbors if anyone has recently been interested in your apartment. Tell all the data collected by the police.
9
And of course, take steps to prevent this from happening again. Set an alarm, hang blackout curtains or blinds. If you live on the first or second floors, close the windows before leaving the house.
