Furthermore, Ade reminds the public to beware with motor theft cases and to install additional keys and improve their neighborhood security system. Metro Jaya Regional will also approach the public through Friday Sharing Session, Public Dialogue, and Halo Police.

“We also want to remind the potential legal threats against violators of taking the law into their own hands, including articles 351 or 170 of the Criminal Code, which need to be conveyed to residents," he explained.

In conclusion, Ade also stated that his party planned to properly appreciate those who are able to secure the criminals safely to the police to boost public awareness and attention.
