Karachi police introduces force on roller skates to catch street criminals

KARACHI (Dunya News) - The Special Security Unit (SSU) has decided to deploy a skating force to curb street crimes in Karachi.

The Karachi Police has formed a Skating Force to patrol congested alleys, particularly narrow streets, to help fight rising criminal activity in various parts of Karachi during rush hours. The new force will specifically target places a standard police vehicle cannot access.

Special Security Unit expressed hope that the new force will help reduce, possibly eradicate street crimes in the city.

According to the SSU officials the team consists of 10 men and 10 women officers, who have been extensively trained. All personnel and stationed officials have been notified, and roller skates will soon become a frequent tool for apprehending criminals in the city.

Special Security Unit officials said that after the success of the first stage, other young men in the force will also be trained in skating.
