How to react if you are the victim of an armed robbery.
10th August, 2010
Guidelines from Saps, should you be a victim of armed a robbery (abbreviated)
DON’T TRY TO BE A HERO! Your life is worth much more than a laptop!
Don’t resist the robbers. Do as you’re told
Relax. Take deep breaths.
Speak slowly – don’t shout or raise your voice at robbers
Don’t make sudden movements – tell robber what you are about to do
Don’t set off the siren - only if you can do it secretly without being seen.
Don’t look robbers directly in the eye. They will think you are trying to memorise their faces
Give the robbers time to leave before you do anything. Do not try and prevent them from leaving
