Skills to handle situations when robbed

If you are walking and being robbed, you need to quickly reflect, try to run after a short while shouting "robbery, rob" to help others. If the people or specialized forces catch the object, it is necessary to cooperate with the police to get testimony and return the property.

Coordinate with the police to use the location function, search for smartphones or disable the device when it is found impossible.

Traveling by motorbike with a robbery, if it is 2 young people, it should be pursued, shouting "robbery, robbery" to support road users. The person behind it needs to pay attention to the objects moving behind to perform the task of blocking and warning the rider, promptly handling and fighting back when being objected and cycling to avoid causing accidents.

If it is determined that the right person is in charge of blocking the ground, there is no need to pursue the person who directly robbed and turned over to control the obstacle to the police . Even if the suspect has denied it, accepting himself as a pursuit supporter should not let the subject go but must wait for the police force to support and verify.

In the case of a scene causing accidents, fighting, jealous . it is necessary to calmly withdraw the car keys and preserve the property. If the object using force immediately shouted "robbery, robbery" to receive the support of the pedestrians, do not explain, distract with the bad guys.

Get to know what a robber is like?

According to Lam Hieu Long's "knight" , the robbers often ride, change their structure, wear long-sleeved shirts and face tight, while moving or looking across. These people often look at women to observe whether the "prey" wears jewelry or phones, baskets on people or not. If a victim is found to have property, the robbery object will watch to see if anyone follows and then gives a quick hand. Professional robbers often take two motorbikes to support each other.

There is now a new form of robbery to ride SH to disguise, avoiding the precaution of the people as well as the police. Besides, an equally dangerous type of crime is staging robbery. This group often gathered 8-10 people, both boys and girls walking on the street laughing, making many people not watchful. When a "prey" is detected, an assigned person runs up or collides or bikes for the victim to fall. After that, the group went behind to pretend to help the victim get up and then take advantage of the loophole of robbery.

And Minh Tien's "knight" said that it is extremely difficult to identify the robbers, they are very disguised, only those in the police or "knights" are able to accurately identify. According to him, the robbery is now divided into two categories: first, running motorbikes all over the roads, detecting "prey" and then snatching; The second is to sit in a place at the water shop, before the ATM, when you see the victim withdraw money, they will follow, waiting for the right opportunity to hand.

The identification of criminals is very difficult, but according to Mr. Tien, people need to pay attention to some points: Always look at the rearview mirror to see if anyone follows them through many streets; When stopping the red light, pay attention to whether someone is looking towards you; When you just get out of the ATM or just unplug the phone in the wallet, if someone is standing up or suspicious, someone next to you should take precautions.
