Sempati office burglarized

Sempati office burglarized

From Republika

In less than a year the office of Sempati Air's district
general manager at Soekarno-Hatta Airport has been burgled four
times, the last burglary being on Nov. 7, 1995. A number of items
were stolen, including three computers and a printer, two
facsimile machines, two radios, two electric typewriters and some
clothing. These burglaries have occurred since we moved from
Terminal A (in Terminal I) to Terminal D (in Terminal II) on the
first floor.

From our observation it is clear that the first floor in
Terminal D is vulnerable to burglary, either at night or during
the day. The burglars might be entering the room through the
ceiling. The use of fake keys has been ruled out because PT
Angkasa Pura, which manages the airport, uses a special type of
key for all rooms in the airport, making duplication unlikely.

In the last incident the burglars entered the room through the
aluminum ventilator shaft. Unless the ventilation system is
changed, the sophisticated locking system is of no use in
preventing burglaries. PT Angkasa Pura has not been successful in
its efforts to prevent these crimes.
