SIDOARJO - The Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the Sidoarjo City Police (Polresta) arrested a perpetrator of theft and possession of a toy gun against a victim and a witness in Sidoarjo, East Java.
"On April 23, 2025, the perpetrator of MSA committed the theft of a 30-year-old female victim in Ngaban Village, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo Regency. In less than 24 hours we managed to apprehend the perpetrator who is a resident of Malang," said Head of Satreskrim Sidoarjo Police AKP Fahmi Amarullah as reported by ANTARA, Tuesday, April 29.
Fahmi explained that the MSA perpetrator spontaneously chose the victim's house and broke into the back door of the victim's house before taking the wallet and some valuables belonging to the victim.
Fahmi said that the perpetrators were initially able to carry out their actions smoothly before meeting a witness.
When meeting witnesses, it was MSA who pointed a toy gun at the witness to be able to escape towards the rice fields.
From the suspect's hands, the police secured a wallet containing money belonging to the victim and other valuables.
The police also secured evidence in the form of muddy pants released by the victim while running away to eliminate traces of his actions, as well as a toy gun that the suspect dumped.
Fahmi revealed that the economic motive was the reason the perpetrators committed the act.
Even the MSA perpetrator is also a recidivist who has been in and out of prison many times due to criminal acts.
Previously, MSA perpetrators were sentenced to prison at the Class II-A Sidoarjo Penitentiarys in 2018 and 2024. The perpetrators also languished in the Class II-B Gresik State Detention Center and Class I Detention Center in Surabaya in Medaeng Village, Waru District, Sidoarjo.
As a result of this act, MSA perpetrators will be charged with Article 363 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (KUHP) with a maximum threat of imprisonment for seven years.
