Worried about potential burglaries in your Kazakh home? It's time to beef up your security game with these handy tips, shared by Kanat Nurmagambetov, deputy chief of the Criminal Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Kazakhstan.
First off, don't neglect your personal responsibility in securing your humble abode. Simple safety rules can save you from becoming a burglary victim.
- When stepping out, never leave windows or balcony doors ajar.
- Install at least two complex locking devices on your entrance doors.

But there's more! To supercharge your home protection, ensure it's under centralized remote surveillance. This tactic can thwart any sneaky intruders in their tracks.
Recent operations spearheaded by the Ministry have yielded impressive results. During the "Apartment" exercise held from May 19 to 21, 294 apartment thieves were apprehended, and a whopping 238 burglaries were solved. Two notorious criminals from Kostanay were nabbed for executeing four burglaries using plastic window prying techniques, causing a staggering 1.5 million tenge in damages.
Intriguingly, these robbers sold their stolen loot through pawnshops, highlighting the importance of monitoring suspicious sales and disposal spots. The authorities also detained eight wanted fugitives and 67 individuals considered "reasonably suspected" during this period.
