Abstract

A theft prevention device to be mounted on a parallelepipedic box, the device including a frame with an insert opening for enclosing the box. The frame is provided with a hook shaped lock tongue, displaceably and pivotally mounted to the frame. The hooked shaped lock tongue may be moved from an engaged position on the frame where it blocks the insert opening, to a position where it can be disengaged to not block the insert opening to allow removal of the box from the frame. A latch having a rotary bolt holds the hook shaped lock tongue in the engaged position. This latch can be adjusted to free the lock tongue, for it to be moved from the engaged position where it can be disengaged from the frame.
