All,
Be alert and safe!
Please take note. You never know!!
1. While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, a MOTORIST saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it. For whatever reason, he did not stop but when he got to his destination, he called the Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check....
"There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women) to stop their vehicle and get out of the car.
"There is a gang MODUS OPERANDI reported by the local Police
Department where gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.
"Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wooded or grassy (field) area OR ABANDONED BUILDING,VACANT / DESERTED LOTS, and the person -
-woman -- will be dragged into these areas , beaten and raped, and usually left for dead.
If it's a - man --, they're usually beaten and robbed and maybe left for dead, too.
THEN THE CAR OF THE VICTIM WILL BE CARJACKED.
DO NOT STOP FOR ANY REASON!!! INSTEAD CALL THE POLICE OR ANY
EMERGENCY LINE. DIAL 1-1-7 (Philippines) AND REPORT WHAT YOU SAW, BUT DON'T EVEN SLOW DOWN.
2. "IF YOU ARE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND EGGS ARE THROWN AT YOU WINDSHIELD, DO NOT STOP TO CHECK THE CAR, DO NOT OPERATE THE WIPER AND DO NOT SPRAY ANY WATER BECAUSE EGGS MIXED WITH WATER BECOME MILKY AND BLOCK YOUR VISION UP TO 92.5%, AND YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO STOP BESIDE THE ROAD AND BECOME
A VICTIM OF THESE CRIMINALS.
THIS IS A NEW TECHNIQUE USED BY GANGS, SO PLEASE INFORM YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES. THESE ARE DESPERATE TIMES AND THESE ARE CRIMINALS WHO WILL TAKE UNUSUAL MEASURES TO GET WHAT THEY WANT."
Please talk to your loved ones about this. THERE MAYBE OTHER SIMILAR TACTICS used. Please be safe.
Ride Safe.
