NEWCASTLE CBD – Avoid becoming a victim of theft or armed robbery.
Police Communication Liaison and Marketing spokesperson, Lizzy Arumugam encourages residents to be vigilant when walking alone and has supplied the following tips:
1. Avoid daydreaming.
2. Scan surroundings and look for “ways out” should something happen.
3. Pay special attention to individuals who change their behaviour upon spotting you.
