HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS
This holiday season, don't let the spirit of giving lull you into giving burglars, muggers, and pickpockets a better chance to do their dirty work. Criminals love the holidays as much as everyone else. Sheriff’s Specialist Anita Baker offers some holiday safety tips. Following these suggestions may help deter pick-pockets and purse-snatchers: Don’t overburden yourself with packages. Be careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in a coat or front pants pocket. Have your vehicle keys in your hand and ready. Look around before opening your vehicle.
