A winery in Saint-Drézéry, northeast of Montpellier, was the target of an attempted burglary on Monday, September 16. Following this incident, the Lunel gendarmerie company is recalling the means it offers to prevent thefts: reports, patrols and a mobile application to receive alerts concerning its geographical area.

They broke a window in an attempt to enter the premises: this Monday, September 16, at 5 a.m., a wine-growing business in Saint-Drézéry, northeast of Montpellier, was the target of an attempted burglary. The criminals were put to flight by the triggering of the alarm, while the video surveillance camera system made it possible to film them, hidden under hoods.

Measures to protect farms

Following this event, the Lunel gendarmerie company reminds: “passive measures can be put in place to protect farms. If you need advice, do not hesitate to contact your security representatives in your local brigades. They will be able to accompany you."

Another recommendation from the gendarmerie: "in the face of any suspicious presence, do not hesitate to contact your territorial brigade or dial 17. A gendarmerie patrol will be dispatched to the scene. Let's act together to prevent and fight burglaries."

Receive alerts from law enforcement

Finally, the Lunel company reminds us that "downloading the Ma Sécurité application allows you to benefit from alerts and prevention messages, coming directly from the law enforcement in your geographical area. Messages that are particularly adapted and concern you directly."
