Bali Police Arrest 56 Thugs, Will Be Tried
DENPASAR - The Directorate of General Criminal Investigation of the Bali Police revealed 56 cases of thuggery within eight days during the 2025 Pekat Agung operation.
The Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Ariasandy, said that dozens of perpetrators carried out acts of thuggery in the form of burglary, robbery and illegal parking.
The number of suspects in the case is 56 people.
The suspects have been detained at the Bali Police Detention Center while waiting for the filing of the case to be declared complete to be transferred to the Prosecutor's Office.
He said the figure was relatively small so that the Bali area was still relatively small when compared to other Regional Police (Polda) in Indonesia.
"The results of the disclosure of this little bit of thuggery by the Bali Police prove that Bali's jurisdiction is still very safe, especially from thuggery acts and the Bali Kamtibmas situation in general is still very safe and conducive," he said, Friday, May 16.
According to him, Bali's security cannot be separated from the support of its people who care and are aware of the importance of maintaining security and harmony, including the role of the Balinese Indigenous Pecalangs who are very active in protecting their respective customary areas plus the most important thing is the synergy between the TNI and Polri, as well as other relevant stakeholders in maintaining the Bali Kamtibmas situation to remain safe.

Eradication of thuggery in Bali is a form of maintaining the investment climate.
The implementation of Ops Pekat Agung Polda Bali and its ranks involved 715 personnel (200 Polda personnel and Polres/Polresta ranks 525 personnel).
The target operation (TO) of Pekat Agung is specifically the eradication of thuggery acts that hinder investment.
Ariasandy hopes that the Balinese people can continue to synergize in maintaining the investment climate and fighting thuggery.
