“However, these cases do not involve any school students,” he added.
ACP Abdul Rahim was explaining what had transpired at a meeting with Rawang Assemblyman Gan Pei Nei on Wednesday.
“In the school, there have only been three criminal cases reported until May this year.
“One was a case of a student injuring a fellow schoolmate, the other a break-in at the school office where a laptop and RM130 was stolen, and the last case being the rape of a 14-year-old girl,” he said.
He added that there were still no leads on the office break-in.
ACP Abdul Rahim said police had yet to receive reports of teachers’ vehicles being tampered with, or of teachers being blackmailed or harassed by students of the school.
“Therefore, based on our statistics and reports, we have concluded the school is a safe place.
“Nevertheless, we will still monitor the area by conducting more patrols and placing a mobile police post in that vicinity,” he said.
Gan however said: “So far, I have collected 10 complaints filed by residents of Rawang, and two copies of police reports on security concerns in the vicinity.”
She urged others to come forward if they really wanted the police and the authorities to help address the actual problem.
Gan recently met several residents and NGOs from Rawang to discuss issues at the school and in the area.
“Most residents who came were those who had personal encounters with the reported school students’ behaviour,” she said, adding that they were from Taman Garing Jaya, Taman Seri Rawang, Taman Garing, Desa Kuala Garing and Taman Velox.
Gan also said the police had told her that they were in the final stages of completing the rape investigation.

RAWANG: Police have acknowledged gang activities in the Kuala Garing area where the co-ed secondary school reportedly involved in criminal activities is located.
However, police here gave the assurance that the activities have been contained and they would continue to combat the problem.
Last month a Starprobe team went undercover to talk to students, former students, parents, teachers and residents, exposing a shocking tale of triad activity, drug distribution, alcoholism, vandalism and sex crimes.
“There are criminal cases in the surrounding areas of the school. Most of the cases involve break-ins,” Gombak OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rahim told The Star yesterday.
