Following the recent break-ins suffered in the community earlier this week, we would like to provide all owners with some general advice.
1º) We should all try to avoid trespassers coming into the community. Please cooperate and close the pedestrian doors behind you. Wait until the vehicles gates close behind you and you are certain it has closed properly.
2º) Do not open the external gate to unknown people. If you see someone strange in your community, call the Guardia Civil.
3º) Your apartment is yours, so you are the one to establish the level of security you want. Some people have an alarm connected to a company (Alarma Universal or Tecnyges are the more common), and connect it when they are out or when they go to bed. If you don’t want to go up to that level, make sure you lock everything, even if you go only to the pool area for a while.
4º) It has been reported that they have made a hole in the frame of the sliding doors of the terraces to open the handle. You can put locks on those handles or separate locks through the frames. Always lock these sliding doors when you go to bed or go out.
If you have been unfortunate to have suffered a break-in, it is very important that you report the crime to the GUARDIA CIVIL, their main office is situated in Fuengirola on Calle Mallorca. There is a translator on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 10 to 14 in case you can'’t speak Spanish.
At the station, you will need to provide full details of your property, dates, times and take your ID (Residency/passport). You will need a Police report number to enable you to claim any stolen items or damages from your private insurance.
If you have already reported the crime, please send us a copy of the police report so we can keep it on file.
