IPOH: The Perak police have deployed Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel to several police stations to help combat crime in their areas.

Perak police chief Datuk Shukri Dahalan said they had identified five areas where crime cases were a bit high, namely Ipoh, Bercham, Sungai Senam, Sungai Rapat and Pekan Baru.

Ten FRU personnel would be stationed to the police stations in these areas to help tackle crimes, he told reporters after attending the state police contingent’s monthly gathering here yesterday.
