BENGKULU - A joint team from the Rejang Lebong Police, the Bengkulu Police, and the North Lampung Police team managed to arrest two robbers specializing in bank customers. The perpetrators have been operating in the Lampung area since last November 2021.
Rejang Lebong Police Chief AKBP Puji Prayitno said the two suspects were arrested on Friday, November 12 at around 20.00 WIB in Suka Merindu Hamlet, Simpang Beliti Village, Binduriang District.
"The perpetrators have the initials AN (28) and AR (21)," explained Police Chief Puji in a written statement at Rejang Lebong, Antara, Saturday, November 13.
The perpetrator with the initials AN was initially targeted by the Narcotics Unit of the Rejang Lebong Police because he was suspected of being a drug dealer. However, continued Puji, after coordinating with the North Lampung Police the perpetrator was found to be involved in violent theft on November 1.
The victim in this case is Anton Cawis (30), a resident of Bumi Selatan City, North Lampung Regency. Anton lost money of Rp. 165 million which was stored in the car he was driving.
The theft began when the victim's car had a flat tire. The victim then took it to a repair shop to be patched. Well, that's when the perpetrators of AN acted by breaking the left rear window of the car. The victim then reported the case to the North Lampung Police.
Puji continued, the results of the preliminary examination showed that the two had been involved in violent theft at Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK), Jakarta on November 10, 2021. The victim in this case suffered a loss of Rp. 400 million.
"Based on the results of the search for the two, no evidence of narcotics was found, so the two perpetrators will then be taken to the North Lampung Police," he said.
