Mobile Phones

Can you afford to lose your mobile phone?

Good Evening Resident,

Stay savvy - thieves may try and catch you off guard so think SMART before you hand your mobile over to a stranger.

SECURITY – Ensure your security features (PIN, tracking etc) are enabled on your phone.

MINDFUL – Keep your phone on you at all times - use a security strap, keep it in a zipped pocket and keep it out of sight in busy places.

AWARE – Be aware of your surroundings and only use your phone when safe to do so.

REFUSE - Don’t hand your phone, especially an unlocked phone, over to a stranger - an unlocked phone leaves you open and potentially vulnerable to someone using your details fraudulently.

TRUST – Trust your instincts, if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

If you become a victim of theft, report online or 101. In an emergency call 999.
