The holiday season might be a time for fun and family and it is easy to focus on everything we can do with our loved ones and overlook our safety. It is common to see a rapid increase in crime during the festive season as criminals often take advantage of unattended homes and office spaces. There has been a steady increase in crime during festive seasons, which has been the case for the last few years. Crime events such as hijackings, house robberies, bag or phone snatching, ATM scams, and mall robberies are some crimes that have seen a steady increase during the festive seasons.
