Polda Metro Claims Citayam Fashion Week Area Is Still Safe, Even Though There Have Been Cases Of Theft Of Cellphones And Motorbikes

JAKARTA - Polda Metro Jaya claims that the Dukuh Atas area, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta, which is often used as the location for the Citayam Fashion Week (CFW) event is still being monitored safely. This is because until now there has been no report of a crime.

"Indeed, to this day we have not recorded any criminal acts there," said Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, July 26.

In addition, Zulpan also said that his party as the person in charge of security would cooperate with the Provincial Government (Pemprov) especially the Satpol PP to prevent unwanted things, including crime.

That way, a sense of security can be felt by all people who visit the public space.

"Then we hope that with the presence of officers there, things that are not desirable will not happen," he said.

A different statement was conveyed by the Head of the Menteng Metro Police AKBP Netty Rosdiana Siagian. He said that at the location, which is often used as a CFW event, there have been criminal acts of theft of cellphones and even motorcycles.

"The theft of motorbikes and cellphones was at the Dukuh Atas fashion show," said Netty, Monday, July 25.

The victim of the theft is said to have made a report to the Tanah Abang Metro Police. This is because the Dukuh Atas area is under the jurisdiction of Tanah Abang.

In fact, according to him, currently the Dukuh Atas area is prone to crime after becoming a trend and going viral on social media.

"But the TKP is Tanah Abang, so I made a report to the Tanah Abang Police," he said.

Confirmed separately, Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Komarudin confirmed the pickpocket in the Dukuh Atas area. But the victims so far have not officially reported

"I heard that there were reports of pickpockets there, but there are no official reports," said Komarudin.
