Police detect log theft spots

PONTIANAK, West Kalimantan: Local police here have located six
areas prone to log smuggling to neighboring Malaysia and 21 other
areas where rampant border violations are the norm.

Police spokesperson Ass. Supt. Suhadi SW said on Friday that
his office has established security posts at Paloh, Seluas, and
nearby Sungai Bening in Sambas regency, Jagoi Babang in
Bengkayang regency, Senaning in Sintang regency, and Nanga Badau
in Kapuas Hulu to foil log smuggling.

"In order to reduce unlawful crossborder activity, we have
also built nine posts at other locations, and they have all now
been secured by the police," he was quoted by Antara as saying
here.

However, he admitted that other areas are not yet being
monitored by the police, because they are difficult to reach
overland.(bby)
