Cops say carry your bag in front of you, as it provides better visibility and control. This reduces the risk of thieves taking advantage of the lack of visibility and ease of access to steal belongings that do not belong to them.
Tourists are also told to only take essentials to the swimming pool in tourist accommodation spots. Police are reminding British holidaymakers in the European Union holiday hotspot over the importance of leaving the most valuable items, such as a watch or jewellery, in the room.
