About 9 Alert 9 Pickpockets operating in Dundee City Centre

Hi all,

 

Please see below advice which will be published on our Facebook page today. We have at least one pickpocket operating in Dundee City Centre, but be aware they do often operate as teams. Most victims are elderly females, and they appear to be targeting persons with backpacks. Please ask your staff to be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity to police.

Many thanks
