MATARAM - The Mataram City Police have obtained several video recordings showing looting during the demonstration that ended with the burning of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) building on Saturday, August 30.
"Regarding the looting case, we already have data, such as video recordings of the looting," said Head of the Mataram Police Criminal Investigation Unit, AKP Regi Halili, in Mataram, Antara News Agency, Wednesday, September 3.
Regi admitted that his team obtained the video recordings not only from CCTV cameras in the NTB DPRD area, but also from videos from members of the public that were widely circulated on social media.
Despite obtaining video evidence, Regi emphasized that his team cannot yet draw conclusions about the role of any suspects in the looting.
"Of course, we must complete the administrative process first. In addition to examining the video recordings, we also need to obtain witness statements from the council, security guards, and witnesses on the ground," he said.
Therefore, he confirmed that his team has not yet arrested or named anyone in this looting case as a suspect.
"We haven't arrested anyone yet, there are no suspects yet; everything is still being processed," he said.
In addition to investigating the looting case, the Mataram Police are also handling the burning of the NTB Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) building, which was the culmination of last weekend's demonstrations.
"Yes, whether it will be included in the same case file as the arson case will be investigated. We will see how the legal process unfolds. What's clear is that we will confirm the results during the case presentation," Regi said.
