Look after your belongings this festive season

Don’t let fraudsters and pickpockets find a seasonal bargain in your handbag or jacket pocket this Christmas and New Year.

Thieves target busy shops and cafes, and Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations provide the perfect distraction.

Remember:

  • Keep wallets and purses out of sight and secure, especially in crowded places
  • Don’t leave bags open or on the backs of chairs
  • Be vigilant when withdrawing money at cash points
  • Never carry your PIN number with your card
  • Don’t leave laptops, mobile phones or iPods lying on pub or cafe tables
