The police appeal to citizens and business owners to keep their valuables properly, and to strengthen the security facilities of the premises, including installing closed-circuit television, anti-theft chains, and other anti-theft systems to prevent thieves from taking advantage of them.
In addition, when someone sells you some goods of unknown origin, if you are in doubt, do not buy the goods and call the police immediately for help.
