Motorbike force intensified

JAKARTA (JP): The City Military Command's Chief of Staff Brig. Gen. Sutiyoso has said the activities of his motorbike force are being intensified during the fasting month of Ramadhan and the Idul Fitri holiday.

Sutiyoso said on Wednesday the intensification is aimed at combating street criminals who also intensify their operations during the season.

He said that the motorbike force will also secure residential complexes as many houses are usually left empty during the Idul Fitri holiday.

"I think the force is an effective back up to the police in maintaining security in the city," he said.(yns)
