JAKARTA - The 0608/Cianjur Military District Command, West Java, confirmed that two perpetrators of a robbery with firearms who claimed to be members of the TNI and one of them had been arrested by the police were civilians.
The Head of Staff of Kodim 0608/Cianjur Mayor Cba Ujang Rohmat in Cianjur, Friday, said his party had investigated a video circulating on social media that said the two were members of the TNI were false news.
The weapons used were airsoft guns, not firearms, so the actions they took had nothing to do with the TNI or any other unit, so his party denied that the video circulating had anything to do with the TNI.
"So the video that is circulating says they are members of the TNI who entered the homes of residents in Cilaku District, so it is disturbing because it is said that the two of them carry firearms after being investigated, it is a type of airsoftgun," he said as reported by ANTARA, Friday, March 27.
His party said that the actions taken by the two people were related to the pawn of vehicles, and one of the perpetrators had been arrested and handed over to the Cianjur Police, so that the case was currently being handled by the police.
Meanwhile, the video of the robbery action carried out by the two perpetrators at the Pataruman Regency Housing, Sayang Village, Cianjur District, was recorded by residents and went viral on social media where the perpetrators carried firearms and claimed to be members of the TNI.
Residents can't do much because they are afraid of the weapons that the perpetrator took out of his bag, even when the perpetrator was rummaging through the victim's house, residents could only see and some people tried them with their cell phone cameras.
Even eyewitnesses from the surrounding residents said that the two perpetrators who claimed to be members of the TNI entered the victim's house by breaking the front door, then took several files from inside the house before leaving.
No one dared to hinder the actions of the two because the residents were afraid of the weapons that the perpetrators were carrying arrogantly even before leaving, the two were still carrying weapons.
