Vyronas burglars use acid to melt door locks
Authorities in Vyronas are investigating a series of burglaries involving an unusual and dangerous method where perpetrators use acid to destroy door locks. This silent technique allows intruders to bypass security mechanisms, including modern safety doors, to gain access to apartments.
Reports indicate that the culprits likely use nitric acid to melt the metal components inside the locks. One victim noted finding a greenish liquid residue near their door after discovering their home had been ransacked for jewelry. This method is noted as being relatively rare, with police reporting similar instances in recent summer months.
Police are currently reviewing security camera footage from residential buildings and local shops to identify the suspects and determine if the incidents are linked to an organized group. Experts suggest that residents can protect themselves by installing newer types of locks that feature covers for the keyhole to prevent the application of corrosive substances.
