“These figures reflect the positive outcomes of ongoing police prevention and enforcement actions, and also prove the effectiveness of strategies implemented up to October this year.

Mohd Riza pointed out that as of October this year, the Criminal Investigation Unit of Mukah police had arrested nine suspects involved in cable and transformer theft, successfully solving six cases. These achievements were attributed to the officers’ rapid response and close cooperation.
