Seoul Yangcheon Police Station Conducts Community Safety Campaign to Prevent Bicycle and Other Thefts

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The Yangcheon Police Station in Seoul announced on the 20th that it has conducted a joint campaign to comprehensively respond to the recent surge in thefts.

In response to the increase in theft crimes due to factors such as the rise in outdoor activities, the Yangcheon Police Station formed a 'Theft Prevention TF' and conducted a theft prevention campaign targeting students on their way to school on the 15th and 19th.

This campaign was organized as part of community policing to prevent the recent increase in bicycle thefts and unmanned store thefts, with about 100 participants including the Yangcheon Police Station, the Yangcheon-gu School Operation Committee Chairpersons Council, the Yangcheon-gu Bicycle Safety Guardians Volunteer Group, and school officials.

Participants distributed promotional materials to students on their way to school, promoting bicycle theft prevention rules such as 'locking the bike when parking and changing all four digits of the combination lock.'

A representative from the Yangcheon Police Station stated, "Since Yangcheon-gu has a high level of bicycle infrastructure, we plan to continue crime prevention activities to make it a 'bicycle-friendly district.'"
