Belgian police deploy digihelpers to combat online fraud after €1.5M stolen

The Bilzen-Hoeselt-Riemst police zone in Belgium reported over €1.5 million stolen via online fraud last year and is deploying 'digihelpers' to improve resident protection. The initiative was acknowledged at an appreciation event, but details on the program's scope and effectiveness remain limited. This reflects a broader trend of local law enforcement adapting to cyber-enabled crime, though the direct market impact is negligible.
