JAKARTA - The mall manager's Instagram account in the Koja area, North Jakarta, received a message containing a bomb terror threat from an anonymous account on Thursday, November 2 afternoon. The Koja Sector Police immediately followed up the report by conducting a sweep around the mall.

A number of police officers from the North Jakarta Police, assisted by the Koja sector, conducted searches in various locations inside the mall suspected of being the place where the suspected bomb was placed. Carefully, officers examined various objects, including mattresses, trash cans, and others.

Operations Director of Yogi Suprayogi Mall said the terror threat was received through the mall manager's Instagram account from an anonymous account that notified the existence of bombs in the mall area.

"At around 10.15 WIB earlier, our team on duty on PR checked our Instagram, which contained promotions regarding buildings and crowds in the mall. When we checked, we found information from one of our followers who usually follows our activities. The follower's name is Si X. Inside, there is a screenshot containing a threat, 'Eh, later there will be a bomb around this,'" said Yogi.

Koja Police Chief, Kompol Muhammad Syahroni, said that after receiving a report from the mall management, his team immediately moved quickly to the location. In addition, the police managed to arrest the perpetrators, who turned out to be still students at a school in Cilincing.

"After we received a report from the mall management, I, as the Koja Police Chief, immediately sent a team to the crime scene (TKP) to carry out initial sterilization and analyze the situation," he said.

After that the police checked the conversation on the mall manager's Instagram and found out that the perpetrator was around Cilincing. The police visited his house with instructions from his parents, who informed him that the perpetrator was still at school because it was still in school hours.

After coordinating with the school, the police picked up the perpetrators at the school.

"At school, we found six people, including a woman who acted as admin. Currently, they are still in our investigation process, and all the perpetrators have been detained at the police station," added Kompol Syahroni.

Kompol Syahroni also emphasized that his party had carried out a search together with mall security officers and a team from the police station, and until now, no suspicious objects or items have been found as bombs. Currently, the perpetrators have been detained at the Koja Police Headquarters for further investigation.
