Individually or in groups, criminals frequently take advantage of major
sporting events to commit their crimes under the crowd's protection.
At the FIFA World Cup 2006, with their millions of visitors, the number of
crimes can be expected to rise.
As a retailer or hotel/restaurant keeper at match venues and other tourist
attractions, you too could be affected by the increase in shoplifting,
scams, thefts, fraud, counterfeit money, and even armed robberies.
To prevent crimes being committed or even attempted, the police and other
security forces are counting on your assistance.
