RESIDENTS URGED TO REPORT CRIMES

****

BURGLARY, PICKPOCKETING AND THEFT FROM VEHICLES ARE TOPPING THE CRIME LIST IN CENTRAL AND WESTERN DISTRICT, ACCORDING TO THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER, MR LEE KAI-FAT,

POINTING OUT THAT THE DISTRICT'S CRIME RATE IN THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF 1982 HAD INCREASED BY TWO PER CENT, HE ADVISED RESIDENTS TO BE MORE CAREFUL WITH THEIR PROPERTIES SO AS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY LOSS.

SPEAKING AT THE DISTRICT FIGHT CRIME VARIETY SHOW HELD TODAY (SUNDAY) AT THE CHATER ROAD PEDESTRIAN PRECINCT, MR LEE SAID PEOPLE WERE STILL RELUCTANT TO REPORT CRIME.

IN THIS CONNECTION, THE POLICE HAVE RECENTLY FURTHER SIMPLIFIED CRIME REPORTING PROCEDURES IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE AND FACILITATE RESIDENTS TO DO SO, HE SAID,

MR LEE ALSO APPEALED FOR CLOSER CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE PUBLIC AND THE POLICE SO THAT CRIMINALS WOULD BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE.

HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EVENT INCLUDED MAGIC AND PUPPET SHOWS AND PERFORMANCES BY POPULAR SINGERS.

THE FIGHT CRIME VARIETY SHOW WAS JOINTLY ORGANISED BY THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN FIGHT CRIME COMMITTEE, THE GOVERNMENT INFORMATION SERVICES AND THE DISTRICT OFFICE.
