Safety Advice:
- If you find yourself involved in or confronted by a robbery, comply with the perpetrator’s demands without resistance.
- Avoid long periods of travel or outings at night, as the risk of becoming a crime victim increases. Try to avoid traveling at night whenever possible.
- In case of emergency, minimize losses by carrying cash and cards (or other valuables) separately. Consider using a separate wallet with only a small amount of cash.
