Here is what you need to know
VICTORIA, Texas – Holiday shopping season is here. The Victoria Police Department is reminding residents to be on the lookout for thieves who prey on holiday shoppers.
To help residents protect themselves from criminal activity, the Community Engagement Unit offered the following tips:
- Pay attention to your surroundings.
- Always park in a well-lit spot close to your destination.
- Keep your vehicles locked and make sure any packages or other valuables are out of sight, preferably secured in the trunk.
- Take your keys or fob with you, even if you’re “only going to be a minute.”
- Never carry large amounts of cash. Only carry the cash or credit cards needed to make your purchases.
