The beginning of the summer season in Croatia was overshadowed by numerous cases of theft. Things left unattended by bathers disappear from the beaches. For several days, only in Primorsko - Gorsky Kotar, 9 beach thefts were recorded for a total of 3900 euros. In other resort areas, there is also an increasing stream of reports of the disappearance of valuables. The victims are residents of Croatia, as well as citizens of Hungary, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, Serbia.

Criminals steal not only individual items: wallets, mobile phones, bank cards, watches, jewelry. The thieves have become insolent to the point that they carry away the entire backpacks and bags of tourists along with clothes, keys and documents.

In all cases, crooks take advantage of the inattention of vacationers. Croatian police urge vacationers not to relax in places of mass recreation, and for the safety of property, tourists are advised not to take valuables, large sums of money, expensive photo and video equipment with them to the beach. Do not keep keys with money. Leave documents in the hotel room.

If you come by car - do not forget to tightly close all windows and doors. Cyclists are asked to secure their vehicles to fences or trees.

In the event of the loss of personal belongings on the beaches, the Croatian police asks to urgently report this to the number 192.
