Reporting suspicious behaviour
Call the Police and inform security. If it's an emergency call 999.
Tell them the following:
- Who did you see, what did they look like, what were they wearing?
- What have you seen, what has happened, what was it that made you suspicious?
- Where did the situation happen and where were you?
- When did it happen - what time?
Don’t be afraid and don’t worry about over-reacting, have the confidence to act.
Your actions could help avert an attack and save lives.
Whatever you do - DO NOT ignore it.
