The police will conduct round-the-clock
hourly patrols nationwide to prevent break-ins at automated teller
machines (ATM).
National Key Results Area (NKRA) chairman Datuk Wira Ayub Yaakob
said motorbike and car patrol units will carry out the patrols and
report to the district control rooms on an hourly basis immediately.
Speaking
at the launch of Ops Tawan Bukit Aman at the KLCC shopping mall, he
said the patrol units would be fully accountable for any robberies or
break-ins during their shifts. On another development, Ayub said the
proposal for separate pedestrian and motorbike lanes as an initiative to
reduce street crime was still under discussion.
"We have
received Kuala Lumpur City Hall's (DBKL) response on the matter. But the
proposal has to be studied further, including its impact on the
society," he said.
According to Ayub, based on statistics, crimes
involving motorbikes made up 50 percent of the national crime index and
the proposal was seen as a method to reduce the rate.
"For
example, motorbike thefts is a major component of the national crime
index and if we zoned them to certain areas maybe such crimes can be
controlled," he said.
