the phenomenon of construction theft is growing

A door completely gutted. A site manager in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis), comes to see the damage after an intrusion, discovered the same morning by his workers. Fortunately for him, today, no flight. There is nothing to steal. But this is the third time that this site has been forced. This company also works a few kilometers further. She is renovating a school group. In March, the place was vandalized and all access was forced.

For lack of vigilance, 5,000 euros of equipment disappeared, including a circular saw and a screwdriver. Thefts on the site, but the headquarters of the company is also targeted. Last November, 30,000 euros were stolen. Tools of course, including a perforator, which is worth more than 2,000 euros. “The simple piece of scrap metal on construction sites is one of the things we protect”, notes Philippe Servalli, president of Saint-Denis Constructions. A construction material whose price has more than doubled in one year. So, from now on, nothing should be left unattended.
