Police warn of new burglary method in Upper Austria
Burglaries of multi-family homes in Upper Austria have increased over the past three weeks. Criminals are using a new method to find out whether anyone is at home.
They place adhesive threads between the door and the doorframe. If these remain untouched after several hours, the perpetrators assume that the flat is empty. They then proceed with the burglary.
Austrian police have warned of this method and advise residents to remain vigilant. If similar adhesive threads are discovered on one's own door, this should be reported to the authorities immediately.
