Security Tips: Prevent seven types of bus pickpockets

Method One: "Block Eye Method"

Means: Using pick-up and drop-off buses to carry out pickpocketing

Under normal circumstances, a pickpocket suspect will look for a target at a bus stop in advance, and then use the passenger to get on and off the bus, waiting to pick up the mobile phone in the mobile phone sleeve of the waist of the passenger and the belongings in the pocket and backpack.

Such criminals are crowded at the door of the bus and neither get on nor get off. In addition, criminals often use the "eye-blocking method" to cover, mainly in the hands of holding newspapers, umbrellas, plastic bags, etc. to block the sight of passengers, or embrace the child as a cover.

Precautions: Citizens should pay attention to their belongings when getting on and off the vehicle. Try not to put their belongings in the pockets on both sides of the jacket. Check the buttons or zips of the pocket before getting on the car. Put the phone in the bag or hold it in your hand. At the same time, those who take newspapers, umbrellas, plastic bags and other objects, and repeatedly repeat getting on and off the vehicle many times should pay special attention.

Method two: "The squeeze test method"

Means: Standing close to implement pickpocketing

Under normal circumstances, pickpocketing suspects will look for targets at the station in advance, and then follow the passengers to get on and follow the passengers. Once the passengers relax their vigilance, the mobile phone and wallet will disappear. Before pickpocketing is carried out, the suspect will carry out tentative touching, bumping, squeezing, etc. on the passenger ’s pockets, backpacks, and mobile phone cases. Once the passenger finds the suspect, he will stop the crime, but if the passenger is less vigilant, the suspect will Bold pickpocketing. At the same time, in order to succeed, the suspects often try their best to cover: some suspects grab the ring in the car with one hand, and bend their arms to block the passengers ’sight, while the other hand stealthily steals; some suspects wear Suits and jackets, hands in pockets, but pockets are worn at the bottom, hands can be extended from pockets to pickpocket.

Precautions: Take as little cash and valuables as possible while riding the bus, and do not reveal your belongings in the station and crowded places. When traveling with a bag, the zipper of the bag should be pulled up, and the zipper surface should be as close as possible to the body. In addition, carry bags and backpacks on your chest. When someone touches it on purpose, be careful.

Method 3: "cut theft"

Means: Cutting off with a blade on the seat

Under normal circumstances, criminals sit on the side or back of the passenger seat and reach for the property in the passenger's pocket and the mobile phone in the mobile phone cover while the passenger is dozing off and not paying attention. At the same time, criminals mostly use sharp blades to cut passengers' pockets or backpacks to steal property. Such crimes often occur on buses with longer distances between stations and fewer passengers.

Precautions: Carry refreshing oil, wind oil and so on with you in summer. If necessary, apply some refreshment to ensure that you do not doze off while riding the bus. Especially on the bus to and from the suburbs, you can't relax your vigilance.

Method four: "door blocking method"

Means: gang pickpocketing to distract passengers

It usually happens in the process of getting on and off. Criminals usually send a person to block the door with their bodies to prevent passengers from getting on and off smoothly while attracting passengers 'attention. Other associates pick up passengers' belongings behind.

Method 5: "Clamp door sewing method"

Means: gang pickpocketing to distract passengers

There are generally 3 to 5 criminals who use "clamp door cracks" for pickpocketing. Criminals will look for passengers with open tops or shoulder bags in front of the station as targets. After finding the target, the criminals will follow the passengers into the car. Subsequently, the criminals will surround the passengers in their own gang, and then use their bodies to squeeze the passengers' clothes or backpacks into the gaps in the circle of people, and the most convenient criminals will carry out the theft.

Method 6: "Segmentation Method"

Means: gang pickpocketing to distract passengers

"Segmented" occurs mostly during the driving of vehicles. Criminals usually unzip passengers' backpacks by one person, but pickpocketing is not carried out; if the passengers are not aware, the associates will steal from the unzipped backpacks. And pass the stolen goods to another associate.

The fourth to sixth methods of prevention: when passengers get on and off the bus, they must fasten the buttons of the clothes and put the backpack in front of them, and pay more attention to the money, bags, mobile phones and other things they carry with them. Passengers should be vigilant when they encounter suspicious persons who are blocking their way or doors but not getting on and off.

Method 7: "Fish in the muddy water"

Means: The gang implements stealing and cutting gold jewelry

Some criminal gangs have designed some simple plots to perform in front of passengers in order to attract the attention of passengers, while their gangs are waiting for the opportunity to commit crimes; some pickpocketing gangs will be pretended by two members to fight for something, or even fight, in the bus Li pushed back and forth, and took advantage of the situation to overwhelm the victim. At this time, other criminals began to chaotic passengers.

Precautions: pay attention to your carry-on bag and mobile phone, especially pay attention to the gold and silver jewelry worn by you and your children. Once you find someone in the carriage bending over to pick up objects, you must consciously protect the jewelry you wear. Suddenly happenings, such as someone fighting each other in front of you, must be vigilant.

[Caution] Once passengers find that their property has been stolen, they should immediately ask the crew to close the car door to prevent criminals from escaping the scene and immediately report the case to the police. In addition, passengers should keep their mobile phones on when they get on the phone. Once they are stolen, they will immediately use their mobile phones to dial their mobile phones.
