Shopping centres and malls – Safety Tips

• Never park in an isolated area.
• Park as close to possible to entrances in a well-lit area.
• Make a note of where you park.
• Keep valuables out of sight, rather put them in the boot of the car.
• Make sure that the doors are properly shut and that the alarm has been set. Check the doors before you leave.
• Have your keys on hand when you return to the car.
• Don’t dig in your wallet for change – have it ready if you wish to tip anyone

While You Shop

• Walk confidently and be alert.
• Keep your handbag on your person at all times and make sure that it is properly closed. Keep the clasp or flap towards you.
• Do not carry too much cash and don’t make it visible whilst paying. It is preferable to make payments with cards.
• Never let your children out of your sight.
• Again, don’t hesitate to report suspicious behaviour.
