LPG smugglers in Bogor have a surveillance team. Police revealed how three LPG smugglers hid from raids. Police said the location of the robbery was very closed and the perpetrators were actively communicating to monitor the situation. “As an illustration, our colleagues entered the location very privately. Because they were using HT (handy talky) or HP (mobile phone),” said Edison. This communication tool is used to monitor people passing by. Police said the ice cubes used to mix LPG were sent through HT. “When someone comes in, it will be notified to colleagues who are working. It is its function to notify you if someone comes or wants to change the ice,” he said. The police said that anyone who enters the smuggling spot will be reported by the surveillance team. This is intended to prevent unknown people from entering. “Because he ran out of ice, he will ask people outside for ice. Or maybe there are people who have come in and someone is coming to chase and they can solve it. If the ice runs out, ask for ice. If a foreigner comes in, he will inform (HT is used),” said R. He said he continues to communicate with HT to monitor the movements of people passing by. If there are unfamiliar people, they will be awake. “Yes, only communicate with each other when there are new people. Every time someone comes,” he said.
