Crime Prevention Tip The Winnipeg Police Service is asking the public to be mindful of basic prevention tips so as not to become the victim of a theft or robbery where your electronic devices are concerned.   Communication and music devices are in demand and very attractive to the criminal element. Stolen electronic devices can easily resell for hundreds of dollars.   We recommend the following safety tips concerning these potentially violent incidents:   • Be alert to your surroundings and avoid isolated areas, in particular after dark; • Travel with friends whenever possible, The buddy system is always safer; • Be wary of inadvertently displaying possessions such as cell phones and personal music devices; and • Be aware of people paying undue attention to you. Suspects attend high traffic areas to specifically seek out people carrying sought after devices.   November is Crime Prevention month and the Winnipeg Police Service wants you to know we're here to Serve & Connect.   Connect with Members of the Winnipeg Police Service Crime Prevention Team Saturday, November 19th, 2016 11 a.m to 3 p.m. at   Kildonan Place Shopping Centre 1555 Regent Ave W E-Watch - Your direct connection to information about crime and crime prevention in your community.
