Wednesday, October 16, 2024, the Dommelstroom Intervention Team (DIT) inspected 40 garage boxes in Son en Breugel. The DIT investigated whether the use of the boxes was in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Three garage boxes were unclear about the use of the power and utility supply. This is being investigated further.

Cooperation was provided by the owners present. They received information from the DIT on the possible risks they may face when renting out their garage box and tips on how to prevent these risks of criminal use. At locations where the owner was not present or reachable, a locksmith opened the door.

Criminals often seek out premises, such as garage boxes, for their illegal activities. Therefore, the DIT will continue to focus on the use of garage boxes in the future.

Today's inspection involved the following agencies: police Oost-Brabant, Omgevingsdienst Zuidoost-Brabant (ODZOB), Customs and the municipality of Son en Breugel.
