PNP nagbabala laban sa ‘akyat bahay’ gang ngayong holiday season

TUWING malapit na ang Kapaskuhan o Bagong Taon, iba’t-ibang klase ng mga modus ang nagsusulputan para lang magkapera.

Kabilang na riyan ‘yung tinatawag na “akyat bahay” gang, lalo na’t kadalasan ngayong holiday season ay naiiwan na walang tao ang ating mga bahay dahil sa kaliwa’t-kanang parties at bakasyon.

Dahil diyan, naglabas ng paalala at babala ang Philippine National Police (PNP) sa publiko.

“That’s what we continue to watch out for because one of the incidents that we often record during these vacations is that of people breaking into houses and breaking doors and windows,” sey ni PNP spokesperson Col. Jean Fajardo sa isang press conference base sa report ng INQUIRER.net.

Dagdag pa ng tagapagsalita, “That’s why we constantly remind our countrymen that, especially those who go on vacation and will be gone for a few days from their homes and establishments where they work, make sure that the houses and shops they left behind are secured and safe.”

Pinaalalahanan niya rin ang publiko na huwag munang mag-share ng mga “at the moment (ATM) post sa social media upang maiwasang maging target ng mga magnanakaw.

“Don’t announce that you’re leaving home, you’re already at the terminal, you’re getting on the plane and you’re already there at your destination. Avoid posting,” sambit ni Fajardo.

Paliwanag niya, “This is because you are basically announcing to the thieves that you are not in your place and that is the opportunity they will use to enter your houses or your shops.”

Ayon sa PNP, nakapag-deploy na sila ng halos 37,000 police officers upang tumulong sa security at safety sa pagdiriwang ng holiday season.
