880 homes in Bangkok under police supervision

BANGKOK, 14 April 2011 (NNT)-Spokesperson of the Royal Thai Police Pol Maj Gen Prawut Thavornsiri said over 880 homes have been under care of the police under the campaign encouraging city residents to let the cops look after their properties while they were on holidays upcountry or abroad.

According to Police Mai Gen Prawut, the Metro Police has found no robberies nor crimes in these houses so far. In addition to this campaign, the police have launched two other projects including the one which neighbors warn the other neighbors of the danger and the other one where police organize activities to boost relationships among people living in the same neighborhood.

However, there are several isolated places which are difficult for the police to monitor. People have been advised to install a burglar alarm and leave the lights on.
