Our analysis:
Kidnapping is a criminal modality, in which the perpetrators dominate the victims to steal money, checks, car, credit cards, cell phones and other belongings. Here are some tips to avoid this type of crime:
- When getting out of your vehicle or getting into it, make sure you are not being observed. Victims are often attacked the moment they put on their seat belts or turn their attention away from the street to start the car.
- Watch out for intersections. When approaching a traffic light, reduce your speed to allow time for the green light to appear. Never get too close to car in front of you, to have room for a manoeuvre, and prefer the left side of the lane.
- Do not stay inside the vehicle when parked. Don’t park where you can’t get out quickly.
- Drive with the doors locked and the windows closed.
- Do not stop the car to discuss after a sudden stop or even small crashes, especially at night.
- As you approach your garage, if you notice any suspects, take a few turns before entering the house. If he remains at the scene, call the police.
- And most importantly: never resist, especially because most criminals do not act alone.
