A message from the Home Watch Team

Your Lib Dem Team have received the following message from the Sefton Crime Prevention Office and Home Watch which we thought we would pass on.

MONEY SECURITY

Between 10th - 18th May there have been six incidents reported where purses, handbags and credit cards have been taken.

A few extra precautions could avoid members of the public becoming a victim of this type of crime:

* Ensure you take your card out of  a cash point after completing a transaction.
* Keep handbags with you at all times
* Do not leave your handbags on trolleys at supermarkets
* Avoid placing handbags on the floor when at cafes, restaurants,pubs or nightclubs    
* Check on the underside of tables particularly at outdoor cafes for a clip. It is there for you to use  to keep your handbag safe.
* At check outs keep your handbag with you. Do not leave it unattended on the conveyor or the counter.
* When walking, particularly in a crowded place, keep the clasp of your bag towards your body to avoid your purse
being taken.
