Stay Safe When Shopping
Are you busy shopping with only weeks to go till Christmas follow our top 5 tips to stay safe.

1. Park in a secure, well lit car park
2. Carry your handbag across your body with the zip facing you
3. Don't load the car with shopping and return to the shops, opportunist thieves watch the car parks! Once you've had enough go home and return another day.
4. Cover the keypad when using an ATM and always check that no one is trying to look over your shoulder. Preferably use an ATM inside a bank during working hours
5. Finally, let someone know where you are going and what time they can expect you to return home.
