Enjoy the Christmas Markets Safely

The festive season is here, and our Christmas markets are a great place to celebrate with family and friends. While you’re enjoying the atmosphere, here are a few simple tips to keep your belongings safe:

✅ Look Up, Look Out – Stay aware of your surroundings in busy areas.
✅ Keep Valuables Secure – Phones, wallets, and bags are safest when not on display.
✅ Be Alert to Snatch Thefts – Thieves on bicycles or mopeds operate quickly. Around 200 snatch thefts happen every day in the UK.
✅ Hold Your Phone Safely – Avoid using it near the edge of pavements or in crowded spots.

Let’s make sure everyone enjoys the markets without any unwanted surprises. If you see anything suspicious, speak to our officers on foot patrol at the Christmas Markets or call 101.
