Burglars, contrary to popular belief, mainly act during the day. However, there are ways to avoid these always traumatic visits.
The scene takes place in the middle of the afternoon. Two men break in through a bedroom window. One keeps watch, comfortably installed on the living room sofa, while the other searches the cupboards. The thieves do not know they are being filmed. The owners are at work. A neighbour is alerted. When he knocks on the door, the individuals flee with their loot.
A couple was the victim of a burglary in Charente-Maritime. They decided to equip their house with an alarm. According to a security expert, it is during the day that you need to be extra vigilant against prowlers. “The day allows the prowlers to be able to follow them“, he says. A study reveals that 63% of burglaries took place during the day compared to 37% in the evening.
