[Warning] Japanese national victim: Burglary incident
July 26, 2024, 1:06 a.m.
【Text】
1. The following incidents of burglary at a Japanese national's residence occurred in Addis Ababa.
(1) Date and time of incident: Wednesday, July 24th, around 5:50 AM (2) Location: A room in an apartment building in the Bole area (3) Summary of the incident: The victim had locked the front door and was asleep, but at around 5:50 AM, the light in the bedroom suddenly came on, waking her up and seeing the intruder. When the victim cried out, the intruder immediately ran off and escaped down the stairs. There were no signs of destruction on the front door (which was locked), so it is highly likely that it was unlocked by lock picking or some other method. There were no particular signs of ransacking inside the room, and bullion cash and a watch were stolen.
The apartment complex's security guard subsequently checked security cameras and discovered the suspect walking around the property a few hours later, and he was detained.
2. Crime prevention measures for the home (1) To avoid being a victim of home invasion,
Measures such as a) installing a security camera on the front door, b) attaching a security camera sticker, and c) installing double locks and iron bars are said to be effective (to deter people from committing crimes).
(2) Try to leave valuables at home whenever possible and not go out (store them in the safest place, such as a locked area at your workplace).
(3) When selecting a residence, we recommend that you check and take into consideration the following before making your selection: the placement of security guards at the entrances and exits of the apartment complex, the installation of security cameras, whether it is easy for outsiders to enter and exit (if there are multiple entrances and exits or if there are stores or other businesses on the ground floor, it will be easy for outsiders to enter), and the installation of security cameras in elevators and on each floor.
(4) In some apartment complexes, the construction of the front door frame may be weak. If the front door frame is weak, it may be possible for intruders to break into the house by kicking the door open, so as with (3) above, please check this when selecting your residence.
3. If you become a victim of a crime, please contact the following immediately.
