Holiday Safety Tips from the 76th Precinct

• Be alert and aware at all times; criminals target people who are distracted
• Never leave your property unattended
• Don’t leave handbags or backpacks hanging over the back of a chair in restaurants and coffee shops
• Be extra conscious during the holidays, because thieves assume that people are carrying extra money
