Big pitfalls of 'condominium crime prevention' exposed in 'luxury tower man robbery'

What about Tawaman security?

On October 27th, a robbery involving approximately 6 million yen in cash occurred at a luxury tower apartment in Nakameguro, Tokyo. In addition to the large amount of money, many people may have wondered about the security of the high-class Tawaman, which claims to be "perfect security", because the intrusion was made in broad daylight and the criminal was a minor.

Looking at the property information of the condominium that seems to have been damaged, security cameras, entrance auto locks, intercoms with TV monitors, 24-hour security systems (mechanical security), etc. Of course there is.

Only in luxury apartments, there should have been employees of the management company such as concierges, managers, and cleaning staff working in the building. In addition, the large-scale condominiums with many households will attract the attention of other condominium residents.

However, in conclusion, no matter how much security is enhanced, it is meaningless if it cannot be used. There is no guarantee that similar robberies will not occur in the apartment you live in. Make sure that there are no “blind spots” in your household or management association.

First, auto-lock, which is a representative of condominium security. Especially when condominiums are rented out, the presence or absence of automatic locks has a large impact on popularity and rents, so in recent years condominiums have become a facility that can be said to be "essential".

However, even if it looks like the same auto-lock, it is easy to enter the early ones that have started to be introduced and the "single" auto-lock.

It is often said that it is a method of releasing the auto lock and following the residents who entered first, called "tailgating". Recently, more and more people are ordering parcels and Uber Eats, so it seems that the frequency of opening and closing the entrance is higher than before.

In this type of condominium, when each resident unlocks the auto-lock, checking to see if anyone is following them leads to prevention.
