Police warns of more accidents and break-ins in autumn - Berlin Police Warn of Increased Risks This Autumn and Winter

Autumn and winter bring more than just chilly weather and festive cheer. The Berlin Police warn of increased risks on both roads and in homes during these winter seasons.

As days grow shorter, criminals tend to take advantage of the cover of darkness to commit more burglaries. The police have issued warnings about this surge in cases during autumn and winter. Meanwhile, on the roads, poor driving conditions due to factors like rain, snow, and reduced visibility pose a significant threat. Pedestrian accidents spiked in November and December of the previous year, with significantly more incidents than the monthly average. Drivers react more slowly and braking distances increase, putting cyclists and pedestrians at greater risk.

The Berlin Police urge residents to take extra precautions during autumn and winter. Homeowners should ensure their properties are well-lit and secure, while drivers and pedestrians should exercise additional caution on the roads.
