Travellers should remain vigilant during plane rides: Police

SINGAPORE - The Singapore Police Force (SPF) reminds members of the public who are travelling overseas to remain vigilant against crime when they are onboard the aircraft.

Travellers are advised to take the following crime prevention measures:

1. Keep your cash or valuables with you instead of placing them inside the overhead luggage compartments;

2. Be wary of passengers who are seen opening up overhead compartments and retrieving baggage and rummaging through them during the flight;

3. Alert the cabin crew immediately of such suspicious behaviour.

Anyone found guilty of theft will face a jail term of up to seven years and a fine.
