JAKARTA - Tanah Abang Metro Police Chief, Commissioner of Police Haris Kurniawan said his members had managed to catch the perpetrators of the burglary who had a scene on Instagram social media. The perpetrator is known to have the initials AS (35).

"Yes, that's right, after going viral and receiving a report, we immediately arrested the perpetrators on Tuesday, December 28, in the afternoon," said the Sector Police Chief when confirmed, Tuesday, December 28, evening.

After the arrest, the perpetrator is still undergoing investigation.

"Investigations are still being made. The perpetrators carried out these actions individually, not part of the mass organization," he said.

From the results of the interim interrogation, Pelalu admitted that he was under the influence of alcohol. Even so, the police will conduct a urine check to find out if the perpetrator was only influenced by alcohol or other drugs.

"If proven guilty, the perpetrator will be subject to Article 368 of the Criminal Code related to extortion. However, it still needs an in-depth investigation process again. Because the perpetrator admitted that he had not extorted or received money from the victim," he said.

Currently, the police are still gathering a number of witnesses. According to the perpetrator's statement, he asked for it but the victim could not give it.

"We need evidence and testimony from other witnesses to be able to impose Article 368 of the Criminal Code on the perpetrator. For 368, we should suspect that we went there, but there must be a process of proof," said the Sector Police Chief.

Previously, it was reported that a video uploaded to the Instagram account @recordingjakarta related to an unknown man stealing parking money from a motorcycle rider who was sitting drinking coffee near Mid Plaza, Karet Tengsin, Tanah Abang, Central Jakarta went viral on social media Instagram on Tuesday 28 December, afternoon.

In the video, it is said that the perpetrator sold the name of Satpol PP to launch his action. Meanwhile, the Head of Central Jakarta PP, Bernard Tambunan, denied that his members were involved in the extortion.

"That's not true. After I checked all of my members, there was no term that they accepted or allowed him to work on the parking lot or receive money from illegal parking from the perpetrators," said Bernard, Tuesday, December 28, night.
