Hanau ramps up security to protect festive shoppers from theft

Hanau has bolstered security in its city center as crowds surge during the Advent season. Extra patrols, including undercover store detectives, are now in place to discourage pickpockets and shoplifters. The move comes as local businesses and authorities collaborate to safeguard the bustling shopping areas.

The city's shopping streets, stores, and squares are witnessing more visitors than usual. With larger crowds, theft incidents tend to increase, prompting a more robust security response. The 'Hanau Model'—a joint endeavor between city and state police—forms the backbone of this year's strategy.

The enhanced security measures will persist throughout the festive period. Businesses and police hope the patrols will curtail theft and ensure visitor safety. With financial support from local traders, the initiative reflects a collective effort to protect Hanau's thriving seasonal trade.
