‘Traffic sergeants to get small arms’ 

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Md Sajjat Ali has said that the traffic sergeants deployed on the roads and highways will get small arms to tackle snatching.

The DMP commissioner said this at a programme at Uttara in the city on Thursday.

“We have already intensified anti-mugging drive and held many snatchers from the city. As a result, the numbers of snatching incidents have come down and our drive will be continued,” he said.

The muggers at different spots showed their illegal arms while committing crimes, so, we have decided to provide small arms to the on duty sergeants on roads and highways, he said.
