The Legazpi City Council has requested citizen collaboration following the recent appearance of markers on some residential doors.

In recent days, markers have been detected on some home doors. These items can be used by individuals intending to commit burglaries to check if a home is inhabited or remains empty for a period.
The markers are typically placed between the door and the frame, allowing detection of whether someone has entered or exited the property. If the marker remains undisturbed for several days, it may indicate no activity at the residence.
For this reason, the Legazpi City Council recommends that citizens periodically inspect their home doors and pay attention to any unusual objects found between the door and the frame.
If any marker is found, it is advised to remove it and report it to the authorities as soon as possible.
For any alerts or inquiries, citizens can contact:

Municipal Police: 943 10 96 62 Ertzaintza: 943 53 47 20

Citizen collaboration is fundamental to prevent these types of situations and contribute to maintaining security in the municipality. In case of any suspicious circumstances, it is recommended to inform the municipal police or the Ertzaintza.
