PRJ awards police for foiling crime

JAKARTA: The organizer of the Jakarta Fair (PRJ) in Kemayoran,
Central Jakarta, has given awards to police officers who foiled
pickpockets or thieves during the event, which opened on June 17
and will be closed on July 18.

The awards were made on Thursday afternoon during a routine
visit of security officers and police deployed to guard the
event.

"I awarded police personnel who arrested pickpockets or
thieves," project director Ralph Scheunemann was quoted as saying
by Tempointeraktif news portal.

He added that the crime rate during the event was low, with
only one or two pickpocketing cases per day.

The police accorded recognition were given vouchers to shop at
the fair. -- JP
