Anna Kublik-Rościszewska, press officer of the County Police Headquarters in Bolesławiec. – When the victim was cleaning a gravestone and walked away to a nearby rubbish bin, he left his backpack on a bench.
Officers:
We remind you that you can also become a victim of crime at a cemetery. A moment of inattention, such as walking away from a grave to get water, is enough for a thief to steal items we have left behind.
They add:
When going to a cemetery, use public transport whenever possible; if it is necessary to travel by car, do not leave valuable items in visible places inside it.
Police remind people travelling to visit the graves of loved ones outside their place of residence to properly secure their flats and houses.
