Robberies remain high on the Côte
While the number of burglaries on the Côte d’Azur may have dropped by a third over the past 10 years, latest statistics reveal that it is still a major problem with 35 a day.
Published by crime statistics body ONDRP (Observatoire National de la Délinquance et de la réponse penale), the report highlights all the initiatives taken to combat the phenomenon, although the effect they have is not always consistent.
For example, crime was down in the Alpes Maritimes in 2013, having jumped by 11% in 2012. But the opposite trend was reported in the Var. Thus in the first 10 months of 2013, there were 7,160 burglaries in the Alpes Maritimes (06) compared to 7,885 for the same period in 2012.
Meanwhile, the Var (83) experienced a rise over the first 10 months to 5,560 versus 5,445 in 2012. In September, the authorities made burglary prevention a number one priority, mobilising local police reinforcements.
Both departments have populations of just over a million people, which swell in the summer months. No surprise then to hear that August tops this dubious table, with 858 break-ins reported in the Alpes Maritimes and 629 in the Var. When broken down into municipalities controlled by the various local police forces, the coastal areas are affected most. In the Var, the burglary rate was highest at 10.31% for the Gassin/Saint Tropez gendarmerie.
The message to all residents and visitors, whatever area they are in, remains the same: lock up, stay vigilant and do not hesitate to report anything suspicious to the local police.

It is a very big problem. People tend to be very surpriced as the French government / local aut. avoid to warn the tourists about the dangers.
What has happened?

My family owns a house in this region. We had to put a private security company doing surveilance 24/7! Cote d'Azur its not what it was before. My parents own this house for 12 years now, more or less, they are even thinking about selling it. Several family friends already had problems, the city mayors are doing everything to guarantee security, etc, working closely with the authorities, but everyone is really scared about this robbery wave.

Classic case scenario: Robber(s) sneak inside the house. A family member(s)/owner caught them in the act, robber(s) doesnt know what to do and opens fire. Robber(s) escape and an innocent life gone.
Maybe a "STATE POLICE FORCE" can be useful a group with the authority all over the municipalities equiped with rapid response units in stategic locations. Something that gave a positive view to the citizens and also intimidating the scum thugs.
