MADIUN - The Madiun Resort Police (Polres) team, East Java, arrested the perpetrators of violent motorcycle thefts that injured the victims with sharp weapons.

"The modus operandi of the case is that the perpetrator, who did not know the victim, chatted with the motorcycle owner on the edge of a rice field who was sitting alone in the Mejayan District, Madiun Regency on October 18. Suddenly, when the victim was looking at his cellphone, the perpetrator hit the back of the victim's neck with the sickle algae he had until he fell. Not only that, the perpetrator also injured the victim's neck with a sickle and after that took away the victim's motorbike and cellphone," said AKBP Jury quoted by Antara, Tuesday, November 2.

The victim who was injured and fell down at the scene, was finally helped by local residents who wanted to see the rice fields. Now the victim is still undergoing treatment at the Caruban Hospital, Madiun Regency.
