Koksijde In a residential neighbourhood in Oostduinkerke are last night at least eleven residential burglary is committed. The perpetrators made jewellery loot. They beat everywhere where the residents weren’t at home. “Our window was shattered and all the house was searched. All the drawers were open. But there was nothing stolen,” says the couple Jan De Vits – Myriam Zelderloo.
In the vicinity of the Mariapark they broke Friday night between 17 and 22 hours within in at least 11 homes. Possibly there are even more because in the police’s west Coast, there are still messages inside. In the course of Saturday were local residents on round to the damage to be fixed and got the police during the morning some new notifications. The counter was in the afternoon on the 11th. It comes to homes along the Henegouwpad, the Oostduinenlaan, Stijn Streuvelsstraat, the New Ydelaan and beyond. All the homes are situated in a radius of several hundred meters of each other. Probably were the burglars are very well prepared because they hit them in homes where nobody is home, wa s. The burglars struck the same way every time: they threw a part of a window piece, often on the back of the house, stuck their arm through the hole and manipulated the winch. After that, they went through the window and searched the house. They went there mostly ran off with jewellery, but what was stolen must still be inventoried.
All loading open
One of the victims is the couple Jan The Vits and his wife Myriam Zelderloo in the Emile Verhaerenlaan live. They were Friday a whole day away and allowed the burglary at their home, at 19.45. “We were during the day to go babysit for our daughter and when we walked in, we knew immediately what it was,” says Myriam. “All of the cabinets and all the drawers were open. There was no disorder, the burglars were ‘pretty neat’, so to speak. Perhaps they simply looked in the drawers of what was to be found but they have not turned upside thrown. With us there is nothing to clear. Even a new bottle of perfume from Chanel that I gift got my husband and my deferred stood, they let it stand. It was their so for money and jewelry, which we never leave at home. The most annoying thing for us is the glass of the window, to the terrace that piece is. They have thrown in their hand to kill and so the window can open. In this way they are also our neighbours burgled, which also weren’t at home. They have the sliding window on the bottom down so the rod that the window blocked on the ground to remove it. They have, however, something stolen, apparently the spaarpotjes of the children. That people are really in the pit now.” Not in all the houses there was also a booty. Where there was always about money and jewelry. For many victims of the burglary not only inconvenient because of the holidays but also because of the bouwverlof. It may take some time before the broken windows are repaired.
