He said that the city’s curfew ordinance for minors should strictly be enforced in order that children will not be wandering in the streets from 10 o’clock in the evening until 4 o’clock in the morning.

“Children are being used by adults in the robbery operations because of the protection given by law to said minors,” del Rosario said, adding that the city’s Junkshop Ordinance requiring junkshop peddlers to have identification cards from the city licensing office must also be enforced.
On the other hand, the council members emphasized the need to heighten police visibility through an intensified police mobile and foot patrol as well as intensification of the police’s intelligence network.
