        "content": "<p>BANDUNG \u2014 The Mayor of Bandung, Muhammad Farhan, has partnered with\nthe West Java Regional Police Brimob Unit to collectively prevent and\nact against street robbery (begal) in Bandung. The two entities have\nestablished a joint anti-robbery team for the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, the anti-robbery team, because we are also seeing a tendency\nfor an increase in violent cases involving robberies. Consequently, we\nwill also undertake various forms of cooperation for joint patrols,\u201d\nstated Mayor Farhan at the Bandung City Hall on Tuesday (2\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the West Java Brimob Battalion A would be involved in\nmaintaining the security and comfort of Bandung, which is widely known\nas a tourist destination. Furthermore, the administration aims to\nprevent the number of robbery cases from escalating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not an emergency yet, but while it hasn\u2019t reached an emergency\nstate, it is better that we prevent it now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He mentioned receiving reports of robbery crimes every week.\nTherefore, Farhan stated that the presence of the anti-robbery team,\nalongside the Prabu team, would add strength in tackling these\ncriminals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is absolutely correct. I am concerned because of the current\ninfluence of alcoholic beverages. Recent robbery cases in Bandung\noccurred in areas such as Cisaranten Kidul and Ujung Berung,\u201d he\nadded.<\/p>",
