Hampshire Constabulary offers the following Safer Streets advice:

• You will be safest in bright, well lit and busy areas.
• Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings and report any suspicious behaviour to police.
• Try to look and act confident – look like you know where you are going. If you are wandering around with a map, looking confused, you are more likely to be targeted.
