KUCHING: Crime Index for the Padawan
District Police (IPD) this year is not much different compared to last year,
said Padawan District Police chief, Superintendent Aidil Bolhasan.
According to Aidil, from 1 January until 9
December 2016, IPD Padawan recorded a total of 857 cases compared to 855 last
year.
The main contributor of crime in the
Padawan area is vehicle theft followed by burglary cases.
“We have recorded a total of 281 vehicle
thefts from early this year until 9 December, but the situation is under
control,” said Aidil during a press conference after IPD Padawan Monthly
Assembly at IPD Padawan near here, yesterday.
Aidil added that for the last two weeks,
they managed to recover three cars and a motorcycle which were reported stolen.
He pointed out that locals should continue
collaborating with the police so that more police patrols can be deployed in
certain areas as requested.
“This is because I believe that the public
are still aware of the importance of the police presence to patrol their area,”
he said.
Aidil also noted that most of the vehicle
thefts happened in the Batu Kawa and Mile 7 areas which are under the
administration of Kota Sentosa Police Station.
Aidil also wished Christian police
personnel in IPD Padawan a ‘Merry Christmas’ and urged the people to take care
of their properties to prevent criminals for taking advantage.
Earlier on, three officers, 27 rank and
file and two civilian staffers of IPD Padawan received the Ourstanding Service
Awards (APC) during the monthly assembly.
Also present were Officer in charge of
Padawan District Crime Investigation Department (CID), Inspector Mohd Rafi and
IPD Padawan District Acting Deputy Chief, ASP Mohd Rizal Alias.
