BAGAN DATUK: Criminal activities have evolved and the police should be provided with better equipment to stay ahead of irresponsible people using sophisticated technology to commit crimes, says Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“Technology has changed rapidly and criminals are also using it. In this regard, the police must have the upper hand to eliminate crime,” he told a press conference after launching the operations of the Bagan Datuk district police headquarters (IPD) in Hutan Melintang near here yesterday.
