The distraction of holidaymakers and the lack of security at some “AL” flats have led to a rise in thefts at Local Lodging establishments, mainly those located in the “Baixa” district of downtown Lisbon. In response, law enforcement (“PSP”) has started a prevention program with the owners called “Blue Lock”.
If you will be leaving your home unattended during the Holidays, you can request frequent inspection rounds by local police. You can sign up for this free security service at the nearest GNR or PSP police Station.
