| Dear #Safestaycation – Robbery We know a lot of people have had their holiday plans ruined or delayed recently and are planning a staycation this year. If you’re holidaying at home we want you to have as happy and safe a time as possible. With a lot more people out and about now, thieves are sadly back at work. So here’s a few tips from us when out and about: While staying alert for the virus, stay alert to your surroundings and who is close to you. It takes pickpockets seconds to take a phone out of your pocket or a wallet out of your bag. |
| Keep those bags closed and close to you – even when picnicking – in busy parks and open spaces thieves can steal by ‘bag dipping.’ And if you’re out shopping keep your bag on you, ideally across the body, not hanging off the pushchair, where it could be easily snatched. If you’d like a few more tips then check out our website https://www.west-midlands.police.uk/your-options/cycle-theft We hope you have a safe holiday at home and find some great new places to explore. |
