At Westfarms Mall security can provide a jumpstart for you, help you locate your vehicle, retrieve your keys if they are locked inside, change a flat tire and more. Ask for assistance at the security department on the upper level. You can also stop by Customer Service on the lower level in Center Court and they will contact security for you. (Westfarmsmall.com)

However the following should be followed while shopping during this holiday season no matter where you are shopping.

  • With increased shopping online credit card information is at a great risk for theft.
  • If possible shop during day light or park near a parking lot light to decrease the likelihood of being robbed.
  • Don't carry all your shopping bags at once, put some in the car truck then return shopping, this is save the stress on your shoulders.
  • Do your research; look for product recalls prior to purchasing and read the warning labels.
  • Remain calm.  Shopping can be emotionally and physically draining to relax and enjoy the shopping experience.
