The police in the South warn young people about street robbers. There is said to be an ‘increasing trend in the number of street robberies’.
Young people in particular are victims of this. That’s why the police give them via Instagram different tips.
For example, it is recommended to always walk in well-lit areas and avoid secluded paths, especially at night. The police do not recommend using a telephone and earplugs, because they make young people less aware of their surroundings.
“Travel in groups, especially in the evening. Together you are stronger and we reduce the risk of unwanted incidents,” the police also wrote. “Carry your bag on the front and make sure it is properly closed. Be attentive to your personal belongings. Take limited valuables with you.”
The police also say that ‘both in the foreground and background, they are busy mapping and enforcing everything’. In case of emergency or suspicious situations, you are asked to call 112, and the police also hope that victims will always report the incident. That would be ‘essential for an effective approach to this problem’.
