As summer approaches, more and more people are staying out at night, which has unfortunately created opportunities for thieves. Criminals are using various methods such as breaking into homes through open windows, prying doors, sliding doors, or even using long poles to steal from homes. In response, local police have increased their efforts to combat these crimes and are reminding citizens to take necessary precautions to avoid becoming victims. Summer Theft Surge Since May, several suspects have been seen riding motorcycles in the Old City area of Xinyang. One person would distract the shopkeeper by pretending to shop, while others would sneak in and steal items from the store. On July 5th, during a patrol around Hemei Square, officers encountered a suspicious situation that led to an investigation. According to reports, the gang targeted small shops with only one clerk on duty, working together to steal cash and belongings. These incidents occurred in places like Phoenix New World and Beijing Road, with some cases involving nearly 10,000 yuan in stolen money. According to officials from the case investigation team at the Old City Branch of Xinyang Public Security Bureau, from late May to early July, they successfully dismantled four theft groups and arrested nearly 30 individuals. Police Offer Anti-Theft Tips To prevent such crimes, the police have shared several important tips for residents: First, if you own an electric bike, make sure to report any theft immediately. It's also wise to always lock your vehicle and park it in designated areas. Avoid buying vehicles from unverified sources, as this can lead to legal trouble if the vehicle is later found to be stolen. When going out for a walk in the summer, never forget to lock your door, no matter how short your trip. Many older residential buildings still use traditional locks without anti-theft features. Before going to bed, check that your door is locked and that windows and balcony doors are properly secured. Thieves often target cash and small valuables. To protect yourself, keep large amounts of cash stored securely and lock up all valuable items. Consider using a safe for extra security. If you're not at home, close all doors and windows to prevent "fishing" attempts by criminals. Residents living on lower floors, especially those on the first floor, should install window bars or nets made from strong materials that are difficult to break into. This can significantly improve home security. Finally, neighbors should look out for each other. If someone is away for an extended period, ask a neighbor to watch the house. Report any unusual activity to the police immediately.
