SUKABUMI - Two robbers who carried out a jumbo-sized saw were arrested by a joint police team in Sukabumi, West Java.

"The two suspects with the initials ABY (27) and DS (18) are a chainsaw gang, because every time they carry out their actions, these two robbers threaten their victims by using jumbo or large saws," said Sukabumi Police Chief AKBP Dedy Darmawansyah, quoted by Antara, Wednesday, November 17.

According to information gathered from the police, the arrest of a gang of gangsters whose presence has disturbed the residents of Palabuhanratu and its surroundings began with a report from a resident who became a victim of robbery, namely Davi Ardiyansyah (28), a water tanker truck driver.

The victim admitted that the two suspects were approached with a saw and pointed it at Davi.

Without thinking, the victim ran helter-skelter to save himself after being threatened by the two alleged perpetrators of the theft with violence.

After threatening and the victim fled, the two immediately drained Davi's valuables which he left in the truck.

Not satisfied with the loot, only two hours later this gang of robbers resumed their evil actions in the coastal area of Istiqomah Beach, Palabuhanratu District, targeting tourists.

Incidentally at that time, there were tourists who were camping around Istikomah Beach. The perpetrators ABY and DS immediately pointed their saw at one of the tourists, Fabiyansyah (20) and threatened the victim and his partner to immediately hand over all their belongings and money.

Afraid of the threat of the suspect who does not hesitate to injure his victim if he does not obey his orders, the tourists can only surrender to surrender their property.

Receive reports of multiple victims in two different locations with the same characteristics of the perpetrator. The joint team of the Sukabumi Police Criminal Investigation Unit and the Cikakak and Palabuhanratu Police Criminal Investigation Units immediately gave chase.

"These two suspects have indeed disturbed not only residents, but also tourists. Because of their actions, the image of the south coast tourist attraction of Sukabumi Regency could be tarnished," said Darmawansyah.

The two suspects were charged with Article 363 paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code regarding theft by weight.
