Pick pockets

Winter Wonderland

If you’re visiting a Winter Wonderland this weekend stay alert festive and crowded spaces can attract pickpockets.

The excitement, lights, and packed walkways make it easy for thieves to blend in.

To keep your belongings safe:

Keep phones, wallets, and passports in zipped, front-facing pockets or a secure bag.

Use a cross-body bag with the zipper facing inward.

Never place valuables in open coat pockets or backpacks.

Stay aware when someone bumps into you or tries to distract you.

Avoid taking your wallet out in crowds; step aside if you need to pay or check something.

Enjoy the magic of Winter Wonderland — just keep an eye on your belongings so the only surprises are joyful ones! ❄️🎄
