Thieves Targeting Road Tax Of New Cars
By Azlan Othman

Bandar Seri Begawan - There has been a number of car road tax thefts of late, the police said yesterday.

A few cars have been broken into by desperate and cash-starved-thieves looking for new road tax, said ASP Mohd Sahri Hj Ahmad, Assistant Head of Police Public Relations.

He advised car owners to safeguard against thieves looking for a chance to steal items found inside cars. The thieves also cart-off car batteries and sell them to recycling plants.

ASP Mohd Sahri also advised drivers to be smart by not leaving their bags inside their vehicles even though they don't contain valuable things.

Other valuable items like hand phones, cameras and audio systems should not be left behind in cars and are conspicuous to opportunistic criminals. Such items should be kept inside the car boot or compartments.

Every week we receive such car break-in and theft reports, said ASP Mohd Sahri.

He also advised the public not to let their guards down especially while withdrawing cash at ATM machines.

"Recently, a man asked for the direction from a person who had just withdrawn cash and while he tried to show him the direction he cash was stolen," he added. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
