In Hiroshima city, while requests for suspension of work and refraining from going out continued in order to prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection, police strengthened patrols to residential areas and stores, and fraud that took advantage of the new coronavirus I am calling for caution.
Damages from special frauds that took advantage of the spread of the new coronavirus spread all over the country, and the damage was first confirmed on April 18 in Hiroshima Prefecture.
In response to this, the Hiroshima East Police Station is strengthening patrols to residential areas and shops in Hiroshima city until May 6, and on the morning of the 28th, police officers left the supermarket near JR Hiroshima Station. By calling out to those who came, I called for caution against special scams piggybacking on the new coronavirus and malicious business methods that sell masks at high prices.
According to the police, while the new coronavirus is influencing the request for holidays and refraining from going out, there is a risk that the number of thefts aimed at stores and offices that are closed may increase. The safety manager said, "We want to give everyone peace of mind and security by thoroughly responding to crimes piggybacking on infectious diseases."
