Sheriff offers safety tips for shoppers
posted Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 @ 10:17 amE-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Now that Christmas shoppers are in full force, the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office warns that the holiday season is also the busiest time of year for criminals.

Sheriff Royce Toney said shopping during the holidays can be dangerous, especially if it is done alone.

"This time of year has a tendency to attract more shopping-related criminal activity because of larger crowds and extended store hours." Toney said. "These factors, combined with the usual distractions related to shopping, create a more favorable environment for petty thieves and other offenders."

For a convenient clip-and-save guide to safe shopping, see Page 8A of this week's Citizen.
