Statistics from the Hulhumalé Phase I police station show that officers conducted extensive patrols in July, inspecting 21,458 locations and dedicating 657 hours to foot patrols. These operations led to the questioning of 1,249 individuals, including 589 with prior criminal records and 786 without.
Recovered items from Phase I included two motorcycles valued at MVR 60,000, 11 mobile phones worth MVR 75,000, five electronic devices valued at MVR 10,000, MVR 1,925 in cash, and 42 other items such as identification and cash cards.
