Luas would like you to follow the Gardaí advise people to take some common sense steps to minimise the risk to themselves and their property.

This “streetwise” approach includes:

- Planning your journey, telling someone where you’re going, and using well lit routes to get there

- Being observant and concealing your valuables

- Avoiding making mobile phone calls in public places, but if you have to make or receive a call in public, always do so with your back up against a wall or a shop window etc. so that you can see around you and reduce the opportunity to be attacked from behind

- Being wary of strangers and avoiding confrontation
