Stay alert: Be aware of your surroundings when out late to watch football.

The problem is, so might be the criminals, says safety activist Captain K. Bala.

“Crime happens because of opportunity and time. And live sporting events shown late at night or in the early hours of the morning like the World Cup provide the perfect opportunity for crime,” he warned.
