When one of the residents walked into the dark showroom around a quarter past eleven last Friday evening, he saw a strange man in the room. After appealing the intruder, he fled out, says their spokesperson. “The resident went after it and called two other residents. While running, he threw away a piece of fruit. Furthermore, he seems to have brought nothing.”
In the end, the chase was given up and residents called in the police. After a short search, a telephone was found that turned out to be the intruder. “This made tracking fairly easy. A strong conversation has been held with the owner of the telephone. No further criminal investigation has been started.”
It is not the first incident in the temporary residential location for status holders. Someone also entered the building in November. In addition, people would regularly walk in to take a look.
‘Malpitars walk in without difficulty’
“Residents want to be able to close the front door safely. Last time the municipality promised to solve it, but nothing has been done with it all the time. Malicious people can still walk in without difficulty.”
The municipality says that there is a lock on the door, and that an intercom is being worked on. According to residents, that is incorrect. There is a lock on the side door, but it is not satisfactory.
“Just like with an apartment complex with several residents, the front door must automatically fall into the lock after opening. There must also be a bell or intercom, the sound of which can be heard in all units,” explains the spokesperson for the status holders. “If you are locking the front door from the inside, you can no longer get in from the outside. And you can’t ring the bell. Then you stand as a resident, visitor or delivery service in front of a closed door.”
