Police announce "anti-pickup strategy" to help ride safely

The annual Spring Festival is about to kick off. In response to the law of pickpocketing, recently, the Taitie Police, in conjunction with some recent typical cases, exposed several common methods of pickpocketing to remind travelers to pay attention to the safety of their belongings when they go out.

"Touching fish in muddy water"

In the third waiting hall of Taiyuan Station, when the ticket gate was crowded, a pickpocket used a tote bag as a cover. A male passenger who was in front of him ran his hand into the male passenger ’s pants when he was not prepared. Unexpectedly, the pocket was caught by the anti-pickup police.

Police Tip: This is a typical "stealing fish in muddy water" theft. Pickpockets use the crowded environment of the train station entrance, ticket gates and passengers to get on the bus, deliberately close their bodies to the passengers, their eyes have been staring at the pockets and backpacks, using the newspapers, hats or luggage in their hands to cover the theft.

Precautions: When traveling, passengers should carry backpacks and shoulder bags with valuables in front of their bodies, try to keep them within their sight, and store less money and valuables in their trouser pockets.

"Hand in hand"

Next to the security instrument at the entrance of Taiyuan South Railway Station, passenger Wu Mou put his wallet in the security instrument and entered the security channel. At this time, a man who followed followed the opportunity to take the wallet away from the security device. The police picked up the pickpocket soon after calling the surveillance video.

The police reminded that passengers must keep their eyes on the luggage when checking in, and go to the other end to collect the luggage in time after entering the instrument through the conveyor belt. At the same time, passengers should pay attention to whether there are suspicious persons around them, and whether anyone has passed the security check with your luggage. In addition, for some passengers with a lot of luggage, it is also necessary to beware of the luggage being "shunned" on the rolling bed of the security instrument.

Precautions: When passing the security check, there will be a short separation of characters. At this time, passengers must not be negligent, and they must establish a sense of precautions and do not give pickpockets an opportunity.

"Work with ease"

On the K520 train from Taiyuan to Qinhuangdao, passenger Wang Mou woke up and found that the black trolley case placed on the luggage rack opposite the shop was stolen and contained 8,000 yuan in cash and several bank cards. After investigation, the railway police fixed their target and eventually captured the pickpocket Shimou.

Police reminded: On the train, passengers often doze off due to fatigue, and neglect to take care of luggage items. Especially when driving at night, pickpockets often take advantage of the sleepy sleepiness of passengers and take the opportunity to commit crimes.

Precautions: When long-distance travel at night, even if you are tired, you can not sleep, you must pay more attention, after all, safe travel is the most important.

"Stealing beams for columns"

On the 4616 train from Taiyuan to Ningwu, pickpocket Jiamou found that passenger Liumou had hanged his clothes with a wallet on his coat hook and hung his clothes on it. When Liu was in the toilet, he pretended to look for something in his clothes, reached into Liu's pocket, and was caught on the spot by the plainclothes police.

Police Tip: In the car, clothes on the coat hooks and various travel bags on the luggage rack are the main targets of the pickpocket. When traveling by train, it is best not to hang clothes with valuables such as cash, ID cards, mobile phones, etc. on the coat hooks, and do not count money at stations and trains or withdraw money from luggage and pockets after getting on the train. Become the target of pickpockets.

Precautions: Passengers should put their clothes and luggage with valuables in a safe place close to their eyes or in sight. If you need to get off the bus to go shopping or go to the bathroom halfway, it is best to entrust a reliable person to take care of your luggage, or carry clothing or small bags containing valuables with you.
