The police urged members of the public, more specifically pedestrians, to be vigilant and to keep their belongings safe where they are not visible. If you are listening to music on your earphones and your cellphone is in your hand, you become an easy target for a criminal to rob you of your phone.
Do not walk alone; rather walk in groups and avoid the mentioned crime hot spots, especially after dark, if possible.
Report any suspicious person or vehicle to the Police immediately on their emergency number 10111.
