PARAMARIBO — The Suriname Police Corps (KPS) reports “a drastic reduction” in the number of moped thefts on the site of TBL Cinemas. The decrease is attributed on the police website to measures that have been taken.
In September, many reports of moped thefts were received on the grounds of TBL Cinemas. The leadership of the Uitvlugt police then decided to consult with the cinema’s management and security staff. “During these discussions, various solution models and preventive measures were proposed and discussed,” it is quoted. Since then, according to the KPS, fewer mopeds have been stolen.
As part of further prevention, the police urgently appeal to visitors to both the Hermitage Mall and TBL Cinemas to pay extra attention to the security of their mopeds. They are advised not to lock their carriages exclusively with the steering lock, but also with a sturdy chain lock. “Taking additional security measures can help prevent thefts,” the KPS urges. It calls on visitors not to leave their vehicles unattended or insufficiently secured.
