Residents in Surrey and Kent villages in England have been ordered by police to remove wire mesh from their windows as burglars could be injured, the Daily Mail reports.

Homeowners in the villages have said they are furious that they are being branded "criminals" for protecting their property. Locals reinforced their windows with wire mesh after a series of thefts but were told by community police officers that the wire was "dangerous" and could lead to criminals claiming compensation if they "hurt themselves." （点击《每日邮报》查看原文）

英禁止窗户安装铁丝网

       英国《每日邮报》消息，警方已经命令英国萨里和肯特地区村庄的居民把自家窗户上安装的铁丝网拆掉，以免弄伤小偷。

       居民们称保护自己的财产却让他们变成了“罪犯”，这让他们大为恼火。由于村里接二连三发生偷盗事件，当地居民都用铁丝网加固了窗户。但社区警察却告诉他们，铁丝网很危险，如果小偷不小心被铁丝网伤到，可以要求赔偿。
