The Philippine National Police (PNP) on its website, pnp.gov.ph, has shared tips on how to lessen the risk of being victimized.
1. Know how carnappers operate. - The PNP said carnapping or carjacking, can occur anytime of the day, but this usually takes place during the late night hours or early morning.
2. Stay alert. - To avoid being victimized, the PNP says one must always stay alert and ap
proach the car with the key in hand. Look around and inside your car before getting in.
3. Keep your doors locked and windows rolled up. - To avoid easy access on your car when you park.
4. Drive in the center lane to make it harder for would-be carjackers to approach the car.
5. Don't stop to assist a stranger whose car seemingly broke down.
6. If the carjacker threatens you with a gun or other weapon, give up your car. Don't argue. Your life is worth more than a car.
7. Report the crime immediately to the police.
