Sandton Precinct Crime Trends - Period: 2016-07-22 to 2016-07-28
VEHICLE CRIME HINTS:
· Lock all doors.
· Avoid entertaining street vendors or even people handing out flyers.
· Be vigilant and keep an eye out for suspicious-looking characters.
· Keep all valuables such as cell phones, handbags, laptops, ipads and briefcases in the boot of your car. Valuables that are visible to pedestrians are a major trigger.
· If you must keep your phone in your car with you make sure it is not visible and do not talk on your phone unless you are using a hands-free kit.
· Leave a large gap between you and the car in front of you. This will give you space to manoeuvre if you need to.
· Install anti-smash and grab film to your windows
· if you don’t have anti–smash and grab film, leave your windows open slightly to give the glass more resistance
