JAKARTA - The crime of motor vehicle theft (curanmor) is still a frightening specter among the public. The reason, the perpetrators targeted the victim's vehicle parked inside and outside the house.

Matraman police chief Commissioner Tedjo said his party appealed to the public to install double locks on their vehicles. Because the perpetrators of theft are looking for the negligence of the vehicle owners.

"Most of the residents of Matraman park their motorbikes outside their homes. Their houses enter alleyways, that's what criminals are targeting", Commissioner Tedjo told VOI, Tuesday, August 8.

The parking area is narrow, many residents seem to just park their vehicles in any place. Even so, the Head of the Sector Police appealed to the Directorate of Community Development (Binmas) of the Matraman Police to continue to patrol around the day and night.

"Residents must use additional safety locks. It is better if at 12 o'clock at night, the portal at the end of the access road is also closed. The reason is that criminals are looking for gaps in the weakness of the citizens before they act", he appealed.

The police chief also asked the public to activate the security guard at night. In addition, the installation of CCTV cameras is considered very important to make it easier for the police to catch the perpetrators of theft crimes

"Installation of CCTV can help uncover crimes based on their characteristics, their movements will be detected by the police", said Commissioner Tedjo.
