24 Harley-Davidadson Motorcycle That Persecuted TNI Soldiers Taken To The West Sumatra Police

JAKARTA - As many as 24 units of big motorbikes (moge) from the Siliwangi Bandung Chapter Indonesia Harley Owner Group (HOG) involved in the alleged torture of two TNI soldiers in Bukittinggi City, were transferred to the West Sumatra Police Headquarters.

Head of Public Relations of the West Sumatra Regional Police, Kombes Satake Bayu, said that the motorbike was moved from the Bukittinggi Police to the West Sumatra Regional Police Headquarters on Thursday, November 12 evening.

He said the 24 motorbikes consisted of 21 Harley Davidson brands and three from other brands.

"This motorbike is under investigation because of the documents and some are being deposited because the owner has returned to their area," he said.

He said that the alleged persecution was processed by the Bukittinggi Police and is currently still running while the motorbike is indeed moved to the West Sumatra Police Headquarters.

Previously, the five motorbikes were branded Harley Davidson which allegedly did not have complete documents

"One motorbike belonging to one of the five suspects has been named by the police and the rest belonged to other HOG members," he said.

According to him this happened after the Traffic and Crime Directorate of the West Sumatra Police conducted an investigation into the motorbikes.

"We do not have the courage to say that the five motorbikes are bogus but we will carry out a deeper examination," he said

Previously, the West Sumatra Bukittinggi Police named five motorists of the Siliwangi Bandung Chapter Indonesia moge Harley Owners Group (HOG) as suspects in the alleged abuse of two TNI soldiers on Friday (30/10).
