Thieves being prepared for by the BTAC near Christmas time

Written by Gloria Villas

The Boracay Police is preparing for thieves.

According to Boracay Tourist Assistance Center (BTAC) Chief of Intelligence and Operation Section, P/Insp. Keenan Ruiz, this early the police are making preparations for those who are planning to carry out crime especially stealing.

The preparation is because Christmas is near and the increase of foreigners and even local tourists going to Boracay is expected.

Allegedly, together with the increase in the number of tourists is the influx of tourists who have plans to steal from fellow tourists.

Related to this, Ruiz said the Boracay PNP will assign many “Secret Tourism Police” who will watch over crowded places.

Aside from this, the “Theft and Robbery” section at BTAC will still be on alert to focus on theft cases.

Meanwhile, Ruiz also reminded thieves and those who have plans to steal in Boracay that many noble jobs exist that they can apply for instead of involving themselves in crimes.
