Traveling by car during the Spring Festival to prevent fraud

Happy new year

The year is approaching, and it is time to return home for the holidays. The bus stations and train stations in Foshan City serve as round-trip transportation hubs with large numbers of people. They are also places where burglary and fraud cases occur frequently. Criminals choose foreigners as the targets of the crime. Take out the property of foreigners by means of health certificate. The Foshan Public Security Bureau issued a security precautionary reminder, hoping that everyone will be able to spend a good year in peace.

【Anti-theft reminder when traveling by car】

When buying a ticket, remember to keep your backpack in sight. There are many people at the ticket gate, passengers must not relax their vigilance. Passengers should arrange their luggage before leaving, and put their mobile phones, money, etc. in a safe and personal position.

In the carriage, thieves often sit on the side or behind the passenger seat; in the carriage, be particularly alert to people who deliberately push and lean against themselves.
