Robbery

Look Up. Look Out

Thieves often target people who are distracted, so keeping your valuables including your mobile phone and other devices hidden ensures you’re more alert.  

• When out and about - be aware of your surroundings. 
• Stay alert when walking along the road for criminals who might use bikes/mopeds or e-scooters to snatch phones/valuables.
• Try not to walk along with your phone or valuables on show.
• Earbuds/headphones can be a distraction.
• Plan your route and use forms of transport that others are using and avoid shortcuts in isolated places.
