Robbery

How It Can Happen

• Loitering at lift landings or void decks to ambush the victim while he or she is waiting to take the lift.
• Entering the lift as the lift door is closing and robbing the victim when he or she is confined in it.
• Using the pretext of asking for road directions, time, assistance, and taking the opportunity to rob you.

Preventive Measures

• Be wary of strangers following you or loitering at the lift landing and void decks.
• Avoid taking the lift with any suspicious stranger. Arrange for someone to escort you when returning home late.
• Avoid wearing excessive jewellery or carrying large amounts of cash.
• Plan your route and avoid dark and deserted places.
