tribratanews.polri.go.id - The South Kalimantan Regional Police (Polda Kalsel) anticipates the theft of empty houses when the majority of the houses are left by their owners during Lebaran 2022. "I have ordered members to intensify the patrols because house burglaries are prone to occur at times like this," explained the South Kalimantan Police Chief (Kapolda Kalsel) Inspector General Drs. Rikwanto, S.H., M. Hum., Friday (22/4/22).
He appealed to the public to inform Bhabinkamtibmas if they are about to leave the house before making a trip to their hometown so that officers would know and monitor it. He also asks active role from citizens to help secure the environment where they live.
"So neighbors who are not going back to their hometown can help monitor the house. If a suspicious person is doing suspicious acts around the house, they can be identified and immediately reported to the local police officer," explained the Two-Star General.
According to him, all the potential for criminal acts and disturbances in the security and social order need to be anticipated because the Eid al-Fitr 1443 Hijriyah is also prone to criminal acts. This is also due to the increasing economic needs of the community. For that, he continued, the public should not wear flashy jewelry when going out of the house, and for women to remain vigilant.
To maintain security and social security during Eid Al-Fitr 1443 Hijri, Polda Kalimantan Selatan established 22 security posts and 11 service posts in the Ketupat Operation 2022 for 12 days starting from 28 April to 9 May 2022.
