A housing cooperative in the maritime capital has become a record holder for vandalism, NOVA reported. For the last few months, those living in the block 120 in the Mladost district complain of systematic raids. We are talking about broken basements and attics, broken stairwells and damaged cars around the block. Determined to protect themselves, the residents of the cooperative decided to install 15 video surveillance cameras. The police said that the perpetrators of the systematic thefts had been identified. These are criminally proven and convicted persons.
“I have lived in the block for 15 years. There have always been such raids by thieves. Over the years, my cars have been broken into at least 12 times. I also have access to my basement. We have installed the cameras for 1 year, but the thefts do not stop.” This is what Dimitar Vassilev, one of the victims, said.
Another resident in the block said an entrance door was repeatedly smashed with a screwdriver, despite the building being chipped. There are encroachments on the cameras themselves – the cables in the attics have been cut.
“Once we put the cameras in, crime went down many times. But there are still problems in the parking lot, maybe because we haven’t installed video surveillance there,” Vassilev added.
