Investigators from the Directorate of General Crimes (Dittipidum) of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police conducted a search at Mahendra Dito Sampurno alias Dito Mahendra's house, a suspect in the alleged crime of possessing illegal firearms.

He said the results of the search, the investigative team secured five witnesses and evidence in the form of two airsoft guns and 78 bullets.

The five witnesses who were arrested were assistants to Dito Mahendra and Nindy Ayunda, namely Hadi, Taufik, Hendro, Ara, Fitri and Piter. "(Witnesses) were secured for questioning," said Djuhadhani.
