Jakarta – Apparatuses of the Sub Directorate of Mobile Investigation (Subdit Resmob) of the Directorate of General Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimum) Polda Metro Jaya roll up a minimarket robbery bandit syndicate from Lampung. The syndicates that are rolled always use firearms and edged weapons when they act.
“This bandit syndicate is the perpetrator of the theft with violence from the Lampung group. They are specialist recidivists of Alfamart across the province who always use homemade firearms and sharp weapons,” said Head of Sub Directorate of Resmob, AKBP Titus Yudho Ully during a press conference at Polda Metro Jaya, Jakarta, Monday, ( 29/5).
It is said, the number of suspected bandits arrested was two people. They had the initials SS (33) as the captain, planner and executor and J (25) whose role was to supervise and execute. Both of them are also recidivists with the same case in 2019. SS himself died as a result of being hit by hot lead because he resisted when he was about to be arrested.
Titus said the modus operandi used by the perpetrators was to go around looking for the target minimarket which was open 24 hours and was quiet.
If they have found the target, the perpetrators immediately entered and pointed their guns at the victim.
In addition, Titus continued, during February 1-May 12 2023 the two suspects were detected as having committed robberies nine times, with details of eight successes and one failure.
“They usually act from 23.00 WIB – 05.00 WIB. In the Bekasi area one time, South Jakarta seven times and East Jakarta one time with a total loss of IDR 58 million,” said officer melati dua who was once Danyon A Pioneer Troops of Regiment III Police Headquarters.
Together with the two suspects, evidence was also seized: one machete, one homemade firearm, one white car, two fake vehicle numbers, one online motorcycle taxi jacket and three cell phones.
The two suspects were subject to Article 365 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 65 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum imprisonment of 12 (twelve) years. Bembo
