West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Regional Police have identified 26 illegal entrances or "rat routes" from the sea area. The routes are spread across the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa.

"As stated by the NTB Police Chief, there are 26 "rat routes" identified as illegal entry routes. Those are all sea lanes located on the island of Lombok and Sumbawa, so, there is no land route," said Head of the NTB Police Operations Bureau Kombes Pol Abu Bakar Tertusi in Mataram, NTB, quoted from Antara, Friday, November 4.

He explained that this identification is an effort by the NTB Regional Police to support the smooth running of the G20 Summit which will take place in Bali from 15-16 November 2022.

Following up on the results of these identifications, said Abu, all resort police chiefs (district or city police chiefs) have received orders to assign personnel to carry out surveillance on every "rat route".

"In accordance with orders from the Operations Commander of Puri Agung 2022 for securing the G20 Summit in Bali, we, as a security party in the NTB buffer zone, are asked to ensure that there are no perpetrators who intend to disrupt or cause trouble, one of which enters through this "rat route"," he said.

In addition to intensifying supervision on the "rat route", he continued, all district or city police chiefs also received orders to carry out increased routine activities (KRYD).

"KRYD is like carrying out routine field patrols by anticipating all forms of potential security disturbances," he said.
