Keeping Safe on the Streets

 


Attack         Theft        Fraud         Scams       

Despite the fact that the streets in the UK are relatively safe, with acts of vandalism being much more common than an attack on an individual, it is certainly sensible to think about your personal safety, and protecting your possessions, when out and about on the streets.

In the UK in 2010 16-24 year olds accounted for the majority of the 398,000 muggings, with 80% being the result of stealth theft (theft when the victim is unaware at the time of the crime that they have been robbed).

As criminals continually come up with new ways of stealing your identity and your cash the use of cash machines can be risky. £33 million was lost in the UK in 2010 to cash machine fraud.
