General Advice

Don't be afraid to shout at people to go away if someone is hovering behind you at a cash machine. Keep your back to them and don't let them in your space. #ElbowsOut

Do your best to keep your car tidy, don't leave anything of value in it and park in well lit and cctv covered spot if you can

Robbers will target those that look alone and vulnerable. stand in a group when at a bus stop and sit near others on a bus.

As always, keep your phone tucked away when walking and be mindful that most snatches occur at bus stops.

Until Next Week, Stay safe and look out for each other.
