Personal Safety - theft and robbery

  • Carry your bag close to you with the clasp facing inwards. Keep it zipped up and make sure your wallet or purse can't be seen. Don't carry large amounts of cash.
  • Spread your possessions about - for example, keep your mobile phone separate from your purse and your keys separate from your credit cards.
  • Cover up any expensive jewellery and, if you must carry other valuables, be discreet.
  • Think about your route, especially if you're going to be on your own or carrying lots of shopping bags.
