From my point of view, snatch theft is an act of criminal offence by stealing people property through steal and run tactics.  Snatch Theft cases are becoming more and more serious recently in our country – Malaysia. The snatch theft cases are frequently being reported through various type of media such as Facebook, Twitter, newspaper and so on which had increase public concern about the snatch theft cases which eventually also increase the concern by government authorities. In my opinion, snatch theft cases are frequently occurring recently due to lack of sensitivity of public. Members of public are lack of sensitivity about the danger that might occur around them. Although the public had known about snatch theft cases that frequently happen in Malaysia, they still carrying handbag or wearing jewelleries without concerning the danger that might occur such as snatch theft cases. Thus, this lead to opportunity for culprit to commit snatch theft crime. Member of public should understand that snatch theft cases might happen anytime and anywhere.
