New Criminal Modus Operandi - Traffic Lights


When you stop at a traffic light a criminal will pretend as if they’re crossing the road. They’ll then stop in the middle of the road and start pointing at your tyres. Their intent is for you to open your car window in order to hear what they’re saying.

As soon as you open your window, two criminals will approach from behind demanding your valuables e.g. your watch, rings, laptops and cell phones. If you’re not lucky, they’ll even take your vehicle at gunpoint.

Never open your windows to strangers, always keep your doors locked and always stay alert when approaching traffic lights.

Please share to alert others...
