In East Kalimantan and North Lampung, police increased patrols and issued public advisories to prevent violent theft and motorcycle theft, particularly in public spaces and high-risk areas during nighttime.

In South Sumatra, specifically Palembang, operations have intensified to target motorcycle theft syndicates. Recent police raids resulted in the detention of several individuals and the seizure of stolen vehicles.
