Acryl announced the eight-day operations would be implemented by JSPT under the theme Safe Home, Safe Arrival at Destination’.
The focus of the operations was to ensure smooth traffic flow, minimise accidents on the road, guarantee property and premises safety, and lower crime rates during the festive season.
Acryl said the police, through the Crime Prevention and Community Safety Department (JPJKK), will focus on reducing property theft crimes such as break-ins.
