Eight kinds of criminal tactics should be guarded against during the Spring Festival travel

During the Spring Festival Movement, the dense crowd flow provided a good "cover" for the criminals to wait for the opportunity to commit crimes. In an interview with a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, an officer of the Beijing Armed Police Corps, who is on duty at the Beijing West Railway Station, reminded passengers of the Spring Festival travel experience to prevent eight criminal tactics.

1. Go to the station ticket window or a formal agency to buy tickets, do not buy tickets from strangers, and do n’t believe that strangers can buy the tickets you need on the railway. The criminals use the enthusiasm of passengers to make fake tickets and sell them to passengers, or defraud them in the name of helping to buy tickets or other finances.

2. Cash and valuables should be carried with you as much as possible, especially without exposing property to prevent snatching by lawbreakers. If you encounter a robbery, call for help immediately and call the nearest police. In addition, every day from 5:00 to 7:00 in the morning, and from 18:00 to 19:00 in the evening, is usually a high-risk period for such cases. Passengers should take more precautions during these periods.

3. Mark your luggage before you travel. Do n’t leave your luggage out of sight when you are waiting or riding, to prevent criminals from “dropping” the luggage. The correct approach is to place your luggage in your arms or under your feet and check it regularly. If the baggage is found to be "dropped", passengers should immediately call the police and actively provide clues.

Fourth, try not to walk on the roads in the surrounding areas of the railway station, and do not walk on the mobile phone, especially when you hear the roar of motorcycle refueling behind you, you must look back and watch, and quickly walk into the sidewalk to prevent criminals Take advantage of some passengers with more luggage, less vigilance and eager to rush to seize property from behind. When encountering such incidents, shout loudly to attract the attention of passers-by.

Fifth, we should consciously queue up and get off and get in and out of the station in sequence. At the same time, we must enhance the awareness of anti-pickup, put the bag on the chest, and do n’t coax up and crowd together to prevent lawless elements from stealing in the crowded crowd. If someone is found to deliberately touch the body or deliberately cause congestion, they should immediately be alert and loudly remind other passengers to "beware of pickpockets."

6. Inside and outside the train station, if someone says that they can help "find a cheap hotel" or "low-cost pick-up station" or purchase tickets with special preferential conditions, and ask them to follow them when they leave the station, passengers should try to ignore them to prevent criminals In this way, the passengers are taken to a remote place for extortion, such as charging a so-called high "booking fee". If there is a situation where the passengers are forcibly forced to leave the station, first remember their characteristics, and at the same time do not get entangled with them, get out in time and call the police.

7. When someone sells valuables, gold and silver jewelry or exchanges foreign currency for various reasons inside and outside the station, do n’t be on the sidelines, do n’t be lucky, to prevent criminals from selling fake money, or using more people to force passengers to use heavy gold to buy . Similarly, passengers must not be tempted by the more common scams such as selling "winning lottery tickets" and "establishing gambling venues".

8. If an unidentified person takes the initiative to set up a relationship with his fellow villager, asks too much about the cold and warmth, and talks about regardless of the occasion, passengers should try not to go with them, do not leave their belongings and luggage in their custody, let alone phone numbers, family conditions, etc. Personal information tells the other party to prevent criminals from using this way to gain passengers' favor or trust to wait for opportunities to defraud or steal. For those who claim to "need help", they can contact the police in a timely manner while providing assistance within their ability.
