In Oxford, local neighbourhood officers, along with the Thames Valley Police Armed Response Unit, are increasing visibility to combat theft in busy shopping areas. Similarly, in Trinidad and Tobago, Assistant Commissioner Wayne Mystar announced confidence patrols to counter opportunistic crime, which will extend into the Carnival period. In Columbus, police are focusing on preventing car break-ins, reminding shoppers to remain vigilant about their surroundings. Montgomery County Police are also increasing enforcement on Route 355, addressing aggressive and distracted driving to ensure road safety during the holidays. These heightened measures reflect a proactive approach to maintaining public safety as shopping activity intensifies during the holiday season.
