Queenstown Crime Alert!
Last week an older woman had her purse stolen from her shopping Trolley in New World.
A holiday shopping safety tip for women. When using a shopping cart as you browse through the store, keep your purse zipped or closed and secure it to the cart by clipping the child safety belt through the strap(s). This will help in preventing someone from taking advantage of your distraction and running off with the purse. For those carts that don’t have the child strap, keep an inexpensive carabiner clip attached to your purse strap. Simply clip the carabiner to the cart and your purse is more secure. HAPPY SHOPPING!
In addition, the past, if women have left their hand bags in the car while returning a shopping trolley, thieves have opened the passenger door (or the door furtherest away) and stolen them. We need to be more vigilant and keep hold of our handbags. Please warn your older family & friends who may not be on Facebook.
