The Inafis Polres Kudus team examines fingerprints of the perpetrators of the theft at a minimarket shop on Jalan Raya Besito, Peganjaran Village, Bae District/ANTARA

KUDUS - The Kudus Resort Police is still investigating the case of the burglary of a minimarket on Jalan Raya Besito, in Peganjaran Village, Kudus Regency, Central Java, which was caught on CCTV cameras today.

The Head of the Bae Polres Kudus, AKP Imam Soekirno, estimates that the shop burglary case occurred early Friday morning. Because from the store head's statement, the employee on Thursday just returned home at around 22.30 WIB.

To enter the shop, he said, it was possible for the perpetrators to break into the back wall with a tool such as a drill. Only one person may enter the shop, while his partner monitors the surrounding area.

"The location around the shop at night is also quiet so that the attempt to break into the wall is unknown to residents and road users," he said.

To track down the perpetrators, the Indonesian Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (Inafis) team of the Kudus Police examined the fingerprints of the perpetrators of the theft, including studying the footage recorded by a monitoring camera or CCTV (closed circuit television) installed in the shop.

In order to avoid repeated cases, the Bae Police will increase patrols in its area. Meanwhile, the Head of Minimarket Mia only found out about the break-in when the employee entered the store on Friday at 07.00 WIB.

"The condition of the store at that time was found messy shopping bags on the floor. When we checked dozens of cigarettes, facial soap, and chocolate were gone, while the back door was damaged," he said. Talking about losses, he can't be sure because it's still in the data collection
