Two motorcycle theft perpetrators with the initials D and R had to be rushed to the hospital after being critically mobilized when they were caught stealing a motorbike on Jalan Terate Raya, Jembatan Lima Village, Tambora, West Jakarta.

The Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Tambora Police, AKP Sudrajat Djumantara, said that the incident began when residents managed to catch the two perpetrators trying to get away with a motorbike belonging to one of the residents.

"During the action, one of the perpetrators used a revolver-type homemade firearm," said AKP Sudrajat when confirmed on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

The perpetrator then panicked when his actions were known to residents.

"The perpetrator then opened fire until someone hit one of the residents at the location," he said.

Especially when he saw that the victim was injured, the residents were even more furious at the actions of the motorcycle thieves.

A number of angry residents then chased and managed to arrest the two perpetrators. The two perpetrators were finally attacked by the masses until they were critical at the scene.

"For the two perpetrators, we have referred them to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, one has head surgery and the other has jaw surgery," he said.

Kanit said that when the two perpetrators were arrested, the condition of the two perpetrators was already seriously injured.

"His condition is not yet possible for questioning," he said.

Meanwhile, the victims who were hit by bullets have received medical treatment and are now allowed to go home, although they are still in the recovery stage.

The police suspect that the weapon used by the perpetrator is a homemade firearm, but this will still be confirmed through ballistic tests.

"We will convey further results after the inspection process is complete," he said.
