The Singapore Police Force website listed some measures residents can take to avoid falling victim to snatch thieves.

DOS:

  • Be alert and attentive to your surroundings.
  • If you suspect you are being followed, remain calm and go to a more crowded area or call the police.
  • Clutch your handbag tightly under your arm. Have the strap slung across your body, especially when moving around in crowded places such as shopping centres and wet markets.
  • When walking along the streets, carry your handbag on the side that is away from moving traffic.
  • When returning home alone or late at night, arrange for someone to escort you.
  • Carry a shrill alarm to scare off culprits or to attract the attention of others.

DON'TS:

  • Take shortcuts through dark alleys or secluded areas.
  • Wear excessive jewellery or carry large sums of cash.
VICTIM: Madam Jurina with one of her two sons, Mr Muhammad Shahirul Junadi, who is autistic, in their one-room rental flat.
