The Mimika Resort Police in Central Papua conducted a crime scene (TKP) in the case of the destruction of the Pomako Port Police Headquarters (Mapolsek) by a group of mobs on Thursday, September 18.
Mimika Police Chief AKBP Billyandha Hilde 23, Budiman said that in that incident no police personnel were injured.
"It's just that the condition of the Pomako Port Police Headquarters was destroyed. Office glass, chairs, tables, doors, water reservoirs (tandons) were damaged by the masses, and even cut them with axes. We have not arrested the perpetrators of the vandalism until now," said Billy in Timika, Sunday, September 21, confiscated by Antara.
The attack on the Pomako Port Police Headquarters was triggered by a traffic accident.
One of the trucks from the direction of Timika City to Pomako Harbor hit a resident of Asmat Village to death.
The frightened truck driver then fled to the Pomako Port Police Headquarters.
Not long after, about a hundred residents of Asmat Village came to attack the Pomako Port Police Headquarters with the police's demands to immediately release the perpetrators to be judged by the masses. The mob also brought sharp tools such as machetes, axes, arrows, stones and wood to attack the Pomako Police Headquarters.
"The driver in a state of fear came to surrender himself to the Pomako Police Headquarters. When the member was examining the person concerned, suddenly the mob attacked him," explained Billy.
