KOTA KINABALU: The crime index in Sabah has shown an increase of 22.06 per cent from January to July this year with\u00a02,429 cases reported during the period compared to only\u00a01,990 cases in the corresponding period last year.
\nSabah Police Commissioner\u00a0Datuk Idris Abdullah said this placed Sabah as the fourth state in the country with the highest crime index for the first seven months this year.
\n\u201cThe same goes in terms of crime solution rate. Of all the 14 state police contingents, Sabah is also ranked fourth with a 72.3\u00a0per cent crime solution rate,\u201d he said in a statement here today.
\nHowever, Idris said the number of cases reported in January-July this year was lower compared to the same period in\u00a0the pre-pandemic year of 2019 when 3,340 cases were reported.
\n\u201cSabah Police will strive and continue giving its commitment to reducing the crime index so that the people will feel safe, but this cannot be achieved without cooperation from all quarters.
\n\u201cHence, I welcome all quarters to channel any information on dubious activities to the police for the sake of keeping peace and harmony in the state,\u201d he added.
