As a police officer, I was very upset when my motorbike was taken from outside my
house last month. When I found out that over 20 motorbikes has been stolen in my
area in the previous six month, I promised myself that the thief would be caught and
punished. First my colleagues and I questioned all the victims of the thefts and visited
all the motorbike dealers in the area. Our investigations came to an end late last night
when we identified the criminal… as my next-door neighbor!
He has just been arrested and at the moment he is being held at the local police
station. His case will be heard/is being heard in the Magistrate’s Court next week and
we all expect him to be found guilty. He might be given a short prison sentence, but
the best thing is that no more motorbike will be stolen in my area in the near future.
