10 Safety Tips Incase Of An Armed-robbery Attack by ikbnice(m): 9:42am On Mar 06, 2016
[b]The police gave the following
tips which we must apply in the
event that robbers manage to
enter our premises. I hope
they’re useful to you and can
help save a life.


1. Robbers typically launch their
attacks from the backdoor
(normally kitchen doors)
because they are usually not
fortified. Get good doors for
your kitchen. Use crossbars at
the back or “burglarproof”
behind the doors inside the
house. If you have keys to the
burglarproof, never leave them
inside the lock. Where possible,
use a padlock in addition to the
keys. The purpose is to make it
as difficult as possible for the
robbers to enter into the house
and to buy you time to call
somebody for help.


2. When you hear someone
breaking your doors, unless you
are absolutely sure your actions
will prevent entry into the house,
don’t try to be a hero by pushing
back behind the doors (they may
shoot at you through the doors),
or putting heavy items like
freezers or furniture behind it
(they get more angry and when
they are able to finally enter they
are more likely to be violent).


3. If you sleep without clothes or
with minimal clothing, dress up
as soon as you hear them. For
the women especially, don’t stay
in your nighties or wrappers,
wear trousers and an ugly top.


4. If you call someone on the
phone for help, keep the phone
far from you as you don’t want it
to be known that you’ve done
so.


5. Look for your main power
switch and plunge the building
into darkness (it disorients them
and may cause them to run
away).


6. If you have a gun, registered
or not, use it but only if you’re
sure you will do damage. This
isn’t the time for warning shots!
Killing an intruder on your
premises in defence of yourself
and property is a legitimate legal
defence. Same goes for the use
of any other weapon e.g. knives.


7. When the robbers manage to
enter, give them whatever they
want. Don’t hide anything. Don’t
try to be a hero or to negotiate
with them.


8. Don’t look at them directly (or
don’t let them see you doing so).
If you know any of them don’t
show any signs of recognition
and don’t mention the person’s
name. However, memorise
whatever features you can to
help with identification and
investigation.


9. When they finally leave your
house, do not chase after them
(yeah some people do that smh).


10. Be your neighbour’s keeper
and if you hear any break-ins at
their house, call the police for
assistance.[/b]
