The Bielefeld police advise people to protect themselves against burglary:

Be security-conscious and use solid mechanical security technology (e.g. protective fittings and additional locks). protection fittings and additional locks) are the top priority in burglary protection and offer resistance to burglars.

Secure possible weak points in your house/apartment (e.g. house and apartment entrance doors, balcony or patio doors, windows, cellar access points) by installing tested security technology. Prying open well-secured doors and windows costs the perpetrator time and causes noise. The Bielefeld police will be happy to advise you on which security alternatives are suitable for your home. One call is all it takes: 0521/5837-2555.

Every citizen can make an active contribution to preventing burglaries by paying attention. A culture of looking and acting makes it difficult for burglars. Anyone who keeps an eye on their surroundings and neighborhood and notices suspicious persons or events should inform the police immediately by calling 110.

Put a stop to burglars! Protect your property, because "safer is safer." Further information on the nationwide prevention campaign against home burglary can be found at https://polizei.nrw/artikel/riegel-vor-sicher-ist-sicherer.
