JAKARTA - The Directorate of General Criminal Investigation of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional Police carried out the process of identifying international networks affiliated with a pickpocket syndicate from Jakarta at the 2021 World Superbike event at the Mandalika Circuit.
"So who are the groups from the international network (pickpocket syndicates), we mapped them out," said the Director of General Criminal Investigation at the NTB Police, Police Commissioner Hari Brata, in Mataram, Monday, January 3.
The move was carried out in conjunction with a series of investigations into the theft of two groups of pickpockets from Jakarta who are now languishing in the NTB Police Detention Room.
He also confirmed that the information from the examination of the two groups of pickpockets with eight members became the basis for the police to create a scheme for this international crime network.
"So busy activities like MotoGP will be their opportunity to take action. That's what we anticipate on the day of implementation by mapping. We map out who his friends are," he said as quoted by Antara.
Based on the execution of that effort, he also confirmed that he would carry out security activities such as at the WSBK event in November 2021. The sterilization of the area and the deployment of plainclothes personnel on the day of the implementation were part of the anticipation of security disturbances.
"We will take the same steps as the WSBK momentum on the day of the (MotoGP) implementation, sterilizing and deploying personnel in the spectator stands," he said.
In fact, to further mature the security situation, he has asked his members and all ranks of criminal investigators at the Polres and Polsek levels to create security conditions by promoting the disclosure of criminal cases.
"So the emphasis is on routine police activities, which are normal, so they are increased, which usually reveals one or two cases a day, they are asked to increase, those DPOs too, arrest them. That's what we press down," he said.
