In areas affected by typhoon No. 15, there were incidents where convenience stores were destroyed, and the police called on houses in areas where power was lost to pay attention to crimes such as theft.
According to the police, in Chiba Prefecture, a crime targeting the area where power was lost occurred, such as a convenience store in Kisarazu City, which was closed during the day, was destroyed.
In areas with power outages, patrols have been strengthened and cautions are being called for in addition to stealing, as there may be an increase in the number of malicious business laws related to house repairs and lifeline inspections.
Of these, in Kimitsu City, 8 police officers visited each house and called for attention to the malicious business law, which charged a large amount of money, and asked if there were any changes in their physical condition or concerns about their lifestyle.
“Please be aware of crimes that piggybacked on the damage of the typhoon. Because there are many voices of worries and anxieties from residents, they can be resolved even a little. I wanted to do that. "
To prevent damage to the empty nests and the aim of the car, the police are calling on them to lock their doors, call out to their neighbors, and go around with their bags and wallets when leaving their home or car.
