Cops and Robbers

Kurukuro warns all homeowners to be aware of the emergence of home invasion robbery cases perpetrated by criminals posed as police officers. Recently, two cops and robbers incidents have been reported and ransacked two homes.  

Why victims fell prey to police impersonators? When people see a man in police uniform and carries a badge, it commands respect and trust. People remember that law enforcement officers pledge to serve the public and put their lives on the line. Full trust is given to our police officers.

Method of Operation: police impersonators knock on doors of unsuspecting residents and robbed them of cash and personal valuables. Criminals posed as policemen to allow homeowners lower down their guard upon seeing them in front of their gates. Robbing residents at home is easier than robbing convenience stores and fast food outlets equipped with CCTVs. Home invaders prefer residential homes because there is more time wiping out all valuables and they can easily escape.

Eyeball

Isang teenager ang nawawala matapos makipag eyeball sa text mate. Isang dalaga ang natagpuan namamalimos pagkaraan mawala pagtapos makipagkita sa ka text mate. Ano ba ang Eyeball? Tuklasin ang panganib na pwede idulot ng pakikipag eyeball.

Eyeball is a slang word which means “to observe closely” or “estimate measurement by looking”. In teenagers’ lingo, eyeball means to finally meet up personally with a text mate. After being text friends for weeks, eventually the text friends will agree to personally meet in a certain place. Though, others find one true love through texting then eyeball, a few ended up in horrific fate. Here’s what happen when you go eyeballing with a stranger

Are you one of us? In today’s generation, you’re not “in” if you haven’t have text friends and account in social networking sites. Parents, are you aware of your child’s set of friends and text friends? Please go to  http://kurukuronimye.com/2013/09/eyeball/ to know the consequences of making friends with total strangers.

Kurukuro noticed that the 2010 cable guy modus surfaced again. The robbers are bolder, more aggressive and assisted by well connected tipsters. Homeowners are specifically targeted thus involvement of a tipster within the same community is a great possibility. To know more go to http://kurukuronimye.com/2013/09/the-cable-guy-2/

Child Kidnaps a Child

Kurukuro warns the public to be aware of a new modus organized by a group of syndicates and children. Kidnapping syndicate recruits kids and teenagers as young as 7 years old as their accomplice in the group’s operation. Minors, mostly street children and recruited from slum areas, are tasked to befriend a target victim. Once the child suspect establishes familiarity with the target, he will invite the victim to go with him and lure away from the eyes of nannies/parents. Once left alone, the kidnappers will snatch the child victim.

Kurukuro reiterates that this new method of operation (MO) perpetrated by a few groups DOES NOT depict that there is a rising case of abduction with the new MO. The purpose of sharing (aside from informing) is for the public to be prudent in keeping the children safe and be aware of their surroundings. Just because the child has new playmates, it doesn’t mean that the parents will let their guard down.

You lived in a community wherein you knew people since they were playing on the streets.  Every day, you leave and comes back to the place where you think is the safest haven. Homeowners beware! There’s a new robbery holdup scheme that victimized residents. Robbery gang shifts target to nonexclusive residential communities.

Kurukuro warns all homeowners to be aware of a crime gang that preys on homeowners of none exclusive residential communities. Robbery gang shifts target to a neighborhood that has no security guards, no CCTVs and has an easy access to the main roads. Robbers pick these new victims through tipsters or surveillance team. Aside from cash, easily converted to cash like guns, jewelries, laptops and other small electronic devices such as tablets and mobile phones are favorite target to steal.
