“As for the crime-prone points in Jakarta are located in Coca-cola junction (Central Jakarta), Pulo Gadung Terminal (East Jakarta), Senen Station (Central Jakarta), Tanjung Priok (North Jakarta), as well as Taman Sari, Tambora, and under Grogol Bridge (West Jakarta),” told Rikwanto.
According to Rikwanto, common crimes that often occur are street crime, motorcycle theft, and theft in empty homes ahead. In fasting month, criminals would conduct their actions at pre-dawn meals before fasting and during tarawih prayer. Then a week ahead of Eid ul Fitr, their targets are homecomers at train stations and bus terminals.
“The Police Criminal Investigation Directorate will prepare 300 personnel to monitor those crime-prone points. Nevertheless, public’s roles are also important to us by holding siskamling (community patrol) in each residential. Don’t easily believe new people you know and make sure the house is locked and guarded by local security officers when you’re going to travel,” he asserted.
