Belief in Santa Claus is not limited to children; adults also share this sentiment. During the festive season, it’s easy to be charmed by holiday characters.
The police are advising citizens to remain vigilant when interacting with New Year’s figures. Malefactors may exploit the guise of festive characters to carry out illegal activities, such as theft or fraud.
In the lead-up to the holidays, the police are enhancing security measures in public spaces. There is also increased patrolling in areas with large crowds, near retail outlets, markets, jewelry stores, currency exchange points, and other locations.
