Kapolres Morowali AKBP Zulkarnain mengatakan, ketiga pelaku masing-masing berinisial HMS (25), EG (22), dan M (46), ditangkap setelah penyelidikan intensif Satuan Reserse Kriminal Polres Morowali.

"From the results of the arrests, we secured 36 units of motorcycles of various brands as evidence," said Zulkarnain during a press conference in Morowali, Antara, Monday, October 6.

He explained that the two perpetrators, namely M alias G alias A (46) and EG alias E (22), often act together in a number of locations in Bahodopi District. Meanwhile, the perpetrators of HMS alias H (25) committed theft alone at night.

"HMS perpetrators usually look for a motorbike that is not locked, then break the lock and connect the contact cable before taking the vehicle away," he said.

The police chief also appealed to people who feel they have lost their motorbikes to immediately come to the Morowali Police Station by bringing vehicle documents to match with evidence.

"We open opportunities for people who have lost their vehicles to check directly with the Morowali Police," he said.
