Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says whether shopping in person, protect your wallet and your shopping finds by staying alert. In malls and parking lots, keep valuables out of sight and be aware of your surroundings.
The holiday season is here and the RCMP want everyone to put safety first, out shopping, at home, and while spending time with loved ones. Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says with many families travelling or hosting gatherings, it’s important to take steps to secure your home. Lock doors and windows, use timers on lights and ask a trusted neighbour to keep an eye on your property if you’re going to be away. Once you’re done wrapping and unwrapping, make sure that you are not leaving the boxes for large, high-value gifts at the curb.
O’Donaghey says whether shopping in person, protect your wallet and your shopping finds by staying alert. In malls and parking lots, keep valuables out of sight and be aware of your surroundings. Always lock your vehicle, even if you’ll only be gone a moment, and stow gifts and packages in the trunk.
O’Donaghey says when shopping online, use reputable retailers and avoid unsolicited links or messages. We all love a deal but be cautious of deals that seem too good to be true — they probably are!
