IGP Praises Kelantan Police For Swif Action In Snatch Theft, Slashing Case

KOTA BAHARU, Sept 12 (Bernama) -- Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar has praised the swift action taken by Kelantan police in solving a snatch theft and slashing case involving a woman about two weeks ago.

"The initiative by Kelantan police chief Datuk Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman and Kota Baharu district police chief ACP Azham Othman to station policewomen at hotspots is a smart move to tackle snatch theft rampancy," he told reporters after attending the 66th Human Movement Planning Committee meeting here Wednesday.

The meeting co-chaired by Malaysian Armed Forces chief Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin deliberated on security measures at the Malaysia-Thailand border.

Meanwhile, Jalaluddin said two drug addicts believed to be the culprits in the snatch theft and slashing of Rohairani Abdullah @ Ibrahim, 36, had been arrested and remanded for seven days.

In the incident around 1pm, the victim had just alighted from her car and was heading to a shop to buy a scarf when she was slashed after the suspects on a motorcycle failed to snatch her handbag.
