Riau Islands Police officers conducted sweeps and checks in places prone to thuggery and crimes of motor vehicle theft in order to maintain security and order in Batam.

"We carry out checks in places prone to acts of thuggery and crimes such as motor vehicle theft. We carry out this activity every day," said Head of Sub-Directorate for Jatanras at the Riau Islands Police AKBP Robby Topan Manusiwa, quoted by ANTARA, Friday, February 3.

This activity was carried out on the orders of the Riau Islands Police Chief Inspector General Tabana Bangun to maintain security and public order, especially from acts of thuggery and motor vehicle crimes.

He said that in this activity his party had not made any arrests for prioritizing humane and persuasive actions, namely by giving warnings and appeals to people caught in raids.

"The nature is still in the form of a warning for people who may just sit on the side of the road, but if they are involved in theft, then we will arrest them," he said.

This activity, he said, will be carried out every day in different places that are prone to acts of thuggery and crime.

"We do this activity every day, so that people are safe from acts of thuggery and crimes in the Riau Islands region," he said.
