Criminal relocation
Criminal relocation to Bekasi?
From Media Indonesia
As evidenced by the high number of newspaper reports, the town of Bekasi is no longer a safe place to live due to its increasingly higher crime rate, quantitatively and qualitatively.
Jakarta has lately intensified anti-crime drives, even by shooting criminals on the spot, which therefore has further reduced banditry and deterred perpetrators in the capital.
In this way, it is likely that the Jakarta criminals are relocating their operations to other regions, including Bekasi. If this is the case, I would like to appeal to the Bekasi security authorities to be even more wary against their activities.
On the other hand, citizens of Bekasi should also keep a sharp lookout for any criminal threat because the public also has an important role in security precautions, at least in notifying the police of possible signs of thugs and gangsters.
