- Don't resist or struggle. If someone tries to take your bag or other personal belongings, let them. These can be replaced - you cannot.
- Scream, make lots of noise and attract attention. Use your personal attack alarm if you have one.
- Try to get a good description of offenders and report all incidents to the police as soon as possible.
- If the offender is still nearby, run away, get to a safe place and call the police, using 999.
- Get away as quickly as you can. Head towards a busy street and find a suitable place, for example a shop or petrol station, to make the call and get help.
- Give the police as much information as possible - including for example, a full description of what has been stolen, description of offender(s), when and where it happened, where the offender is now, in which direction they ran off.
