Dangerous objects can appear in the most unexpected places — on streets, in parks, near water bodies, along roadsides, or even outside residential buildings. Patrol police regularly receive calls about suspicious objects being found. In such cases, officers restrict access to the hazardous area and secure the site until specialist services arrive. What to do if you discover a suspicious object: — Do not touch the object or attempt to move it. — Move to a safe distance and lead others away from the area. — Call the police immediately on 102. — Remember: dangerous objects do not always have obvious identifying features. Staying alert, acting cautiously, and contacting the relevant services without delay can save lives and prevent injury.
