The place - A busy highway intersection.

The crime…

WHAT’S THIS? WHY IS THAT GUY

RUNNING INTO TRAFFIC?

He’s smashing that car’s window!

Ha! The driver left a bag on the seat. Easy

money!

He’s got the goods and is making a run

for it!

In a split second the window is broken and he’s going for the

bag!

Don’t leave your valuables in plain sight.

Criminals are looking for something to steal, so don’t give them a target!

Make sure you don’t stop too close to the

car in front of you. Leave yourself some room to move in an

emergency.

ReMOte JAMMINgchapter 02




The place - A busy street in the Cape Town CBD.

That guy was lucky to get that parking

space.

…but his car didn’t lock. Is something

blocking the signal?

Hey, that’s not his car! And how did he know that it was unlocked?

The crime…

After the driver has left, a stranger approaches

the car…

That’s weird. He hit the remote locking button…

He’s stealing that laptop! He must

have been the one who was jamming

the remote signal!

Make sure your car is locked before you leave it by manually

checking the door.

If your remote locking signal isn’t working, play it safe and find somewhere else to park.

SNIP! SNIP!

The place - Late night on Long Street.

The crime…

Now! While her back is

turned!

Uh-oh! It looks like these guys are working

together to keep that woman distracted.

Her back is exposed and she doesn’t notice that thief behind her, cutting

the straps on her handbag.

He’s got her bag! He’s hiding it under his clothes

and he’s on the move!

He’s handing the bag off to

his partner so they can make a

quick getaway.

Got it! Now to get outta

here!

Maybe I should hang onto this?

Chill! You’ll get your cut.

Be aware of strangers surrounding you. If you are isolated, you become

an easier target.

Try not to leave your back unprotected. Stand against

a wall or in a doorway.

AtM FRAUDchapter 04






They want to get a look at his PIN number and maybe

even switch his card with a fake or swipe it to make a

cloned card.

Those two don’t look like criminals. The

tourist doesn’t even realise that

he was being scammed.

Do you need some help? South African ATMs are different to the ones overseas.

He’s right, you know. You need

to put in your PIN again to sign out.

The place - A busy street in the Cape Town CBD.

The crime…

This con- man is staking

out the ATM and targeting unsuspecting

tourists.

These guys are partners. They’re

working together to scam the tourist.

Here comes the law. They knew

these guys were up to no good.

Now it’s their turn to be taken

for a ride.

Moments later…

Don’t accept help from anyone when using an ATM. No

matter how friendly or well-dressed

they may seem.

Never let anyone learn your PIN number. If the machine swallows your card, contact the bank

immediately.

The place - The city bowl, late at night.

The crime…

Nice shoes, man. They look just like mine.Hey!

You having a good time

tonight?

This looks bad. He’s trying to distract that

guy.

He got in close and picked his

pocket!

The poor guy doesn’t

even know he’s been robbed.Let me take

a closer look, man.

Heheheh. Got it!

If someone is getting too close for comfort,

just keep moving or make some noise to attract

people’s attention.

Keep strangers out of your personal space.

Don’t let anyone distract you or stop you.

The place - Mid-afternoon in the city.

A split second later…

Looks like there are some shoes on the front seat…

The window is out and he’s going in for the shoes!

Look at that! This guy is pulling that

car window out of its frame.

There he goes, trying to look casual. But the camera caught everything.

Don’t leave anything in your car. Criminals will break in

to steal just about anything. Even an old pair of shoes.

My last piece of advice is for the

criminals out there. Unless you want to end up like this guy, find a new career. And don’t forget, I’m watching you.

The police arrive…

A short chase later…

The police are on the scene and giving chase. He’s got nowhere left

to run.

They’re taking him away. He has

no idea how they caught him. But

we do!
