Bandar Seri Begawan - The recent spate of thefts that affected Kg Junjungan has seen four men arrested by police for their suspected involvement in at least 12 break-ins around Mukim Pengkalan Batu.

On behalf of other residents, a member of the Kg Junjungan Consultative Council expressed his gratitude to the RBPF for their hard work and determination that led to the arrests.

He said the villagers would nevertheless continue to be vigilant and prevent other burglaries. "There is a possibility that a few burglaries at Kg Junjungan may have been committed by different people as they were not only interested in cash but also electronic and electrical items.

"Or there could be a network of them operating from various areas, but the arrest may cause the rest to lie low for a while. Therefore, the residents will continue to lock their houses properly, secure valuables and light up the interiors, especially when they are out," he added.

Last Friday, the personnel of Jerudong Police District recovered stolen goods burgled from houses in Mukim Pengkalan Batu between March and September this year. Four men aged between 15 and 25 were apprehended for their alleged involvements in the thefts.

The recovered items included jewelleries, a Rolex wristwatch, a laptop computer, television sets, a sound system, mobile phones, computer games, bags and compact discs.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
