JAYAPURA - Jayapura City Police Chief Kombes Fredrickus Maclarimboen revealed three prominent criminal cases that occurred throughout 2025 in the jurisdiction of the Jayapura City Police, namely motor vehicle theft (curanmor), ordinary theft, and theft with violence (curas).
"It is true that the three cases have increased, especially curanmor. Therefore, we hope that residents will reactivate the kamling post in their neighborhoods," said Fredrickus at the end-of-year press conference in Jayapura, Antara, Wednesday, December 31.
He emphasized that the increasing number of cases of theft should be a common concern, especially for vehicle owners to be more vigilant when parking motorbikes so that they are not targets of criminals.
During 2025, the Jayapura City Police recorded 1,110 cases of robbery, 686 cases of ordinary theft, and 196 cases of robbery with violence.
In addition, there were 265 cases of abuse and 174 cases of assault.
However, overall the number of criminal acts in 2025 decreased compared to the previous year. In 2025, 2,551 criminal cases were recorded, while in 2024 it reached 2,793 cases.
"In total, there has been a decrease in criminal cases in the legal jurisdiction of the Jayapura City Police," said Fredrickus.
The police chief added that his party suspected that the stolen motorcycles were sold again in the area around Jayapura City, such as Jayapura Regency and Keerom Regency.
"In addition, there are indications that stolen motorbikes are smuggled into Papua New Guinea and bartered for marijuana. Some time ago we managed to secure two motorbikes that were about to be smuggled into the neighboring country," said Fredrickus.
