Distraction Theft

Dear Residents, 

Don't be caught out by distraction thefts. Being alert and aware of your surroundings is important.

Always remain vigilant with personal belongings in public, such as mobile phones and cash. Whether you are approached, or your attention is diverted by someone, ensure all valuables are safe within your bag and refrain from having them in easily accessible pockets, as this can allow criminals to swipe them quickly while you are otherwise occupied.
