7 ARRESTED BY MOBILE DIVISION OFFICERS DURING 24 HOURS PERIOD

Consistent with the Commissioner’s Policing Priorities for 2014, Mobile Division saturation patrols intended to reduce crime and to minimize the ability for criminals to commit criminal activities resulted in the arrests of seven (7) persons during the past 24 hours for various minor and major offences.

POLICE SEEK PUBLIC’S HELP IN SOLVING ARMED ROBBERY

According to reports, shortly after 8:30pm on Monday 22nd December 2014, a man was at Cambridge Lane off Baillou Hill Road, when four men armed with a shotgun robbed him of his red and white Yamaha Meko scooter license number SD123.
Investigations are ongoing.

CHRISTMAS ROBBERY PREVENTION TIPS

When holidays come around it's good to think about the safety of you and your family. You can prevent yourself from becoming a victim of a robbery by following the safety tips presented below:

• Travel well-lighted, busy routes
• Avoid walking or parking in shadowed areas.
• Have your keys in your hand as you approach your door, and remember to be alert to what and who
is around you.
• Glance under your car, around it and in the back seat as you get in.
• If you must be out at night, go with a companion or two
• Avoid displaying and carrying large sums of money in public. (Only carry the credit cards you need).
• Carry a purse close to your body, but do not loop or wrap straps around you.
• Pay full attention to who is around you when you are in public (Avoid text messaging and talking on the phone)

If you are confronted, COOPERATE!

• Your safety is most important. Above all, don’t be heroic
• Give the criminal what he/she asks for — wallet, keys, jewelry, credit cards and electronics. Your life
is more valuable than replaceable possessions.
• Don’t make any sudden, unexpected moves. A nervous criminal may think you are reaching for a
concealed weapon.
• Don’t try to apprehend the criminal yourself.
• If the suspect claims he has a gun, knife, razor, or other weapon in his pocket, never try to force his
bluff
• Concentrate on remembering a description and call police immediately.
Stay safe and enjoy the drive
