CRIME ALERT: THEFT OF PETROL FROM MOTORCYCLES
Lately, there has been an increase in the number of petrol thefts from motorcycles parked at car parks. In these cases, the culprit(s) would tamper with the exposed fuel pipes of a motorcycle before using a manual pump to siphon the petrol into a container.
2. These thefts had predominantly occurred at the northern and western parts of the island, including Bukit Panjang, Jurong West, Woodlands, Redhill and Telok Blangah estates, and would usually be perpetuated during the night when human traffic is low.
3. While the police have increased patrols at these locations, we strongly advise vehicle owners to adopt the following crime prevention measures to avoid being the next victim:
a) Park your vehicle in a well-lit area;
b) Secure your motorcycle with a canvas and secure it with a lock;
c) Install an anti-theft alarm and ensure that it is always in good working order;
4. If you have any information pertaining to the above cases, or wish to report any suspicious persons loitering at the vicinity of the car parks, especially when they are carrying items such as manual pumps and containers, please inform the Police immediately at “999”.
5. Thank you and regards.
