Perak use riot cops to fight crime - Malaysian Insider


IPOH, 10 Mac — The Perak police have deployed Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel to several police stations to help combat crime in their areas.

Perak police chief Datuk Shukri Dahalan said they had identified five areas where crime cases were a bit high, namely Ipoh, Bercham, Sungai Senam, Sungai Rapat and Pekan Baru.

Ten FRU personnel would be stationed to the police stations in these areas to help tackle crimes, he told reporters after attending the state police contingent’s monthly gathering here today.

Shukri said the deployment of FRU personnel proved to be effective, with the five areas showing reduction in the number of crime cases.

He said the FRU deployment was only temporary and that they would return to their stations of origin once the crime rate in these areas was brought under control. — Bernama
