Crime is everywhere, so be vigilant at all times

Crime is something that can reach out and touch you at any time, so you have to be prepared. Use the following valuable tips to stay one step ahead of opportunistic criminals.

• Never walk around alone and don’t talk to strangers. Be vigilant if you see a strange-looking motor vehicle.
• Walk in well-lit streets and in a group. If possible, avoid places that don’t have any streetlights.
• Make sure your home is secure and become a member of an armed response service.

• Make sure that someone knows where you are going and how long you will be away. Avoid posting your plans on social media, as criminals have access to these platforms as well.
