The West Java Regional Police's Dirkrimsus conducted a crime scene (TKP) for the burning of two cars at the post for winning the legislative candidate (caleg) of the Indonesian House of Representatives from the National Awakening Party (PKB) in Cibadak Village, Sukagalih Village, Pacet District, Saturday 17 February.

Kasat Reskrim Cianjur Police AKP Tono Listianto in Cianjur Saturday, said the alleged burning case by an unknown person had been handled by the West Java Police Dirkrimsus, so that the police line had been installed at the location.

"Currently we, together with the West Java Police's Dirkrimsus, are still conducting an investigation to develop the case," he said, as reported by Antara.

Tono has not been able to provide complete information because the joint officers are still conducting an investigation, but confirmed that there was an element of intent because at the crime scene small jerry cans were found, matches and traces of the fire behind the two burning vehicles.

Information compiled by the success team of the DPR RI candidate for the West Java III electoral district from the National Awakening Party (PKB) Neng Eem Marhamah Zulfa HIZ allegedly burned by an unknown person in front of the winning post at the Gerbang Marhamah Foundation Community Work Training Center, Sukagalih Village, Saturday morning.

A number of people inside the foundation only found out that the two parked cars caught fire when the fire had started to grow at around 3.30 WIB, and tried to extinguish the fire. However, not yet completely extinguished the fire, there was an explosion.

Hearing the sound of the explosion, most of the people who tried to extinguish the fire withdrew for fear of the car's tank exploding, several other people had recorded the incident, where the fire emerged from a small jerry can left by the perpetrator in the foundation's yard.

"One unit of the Toyota Raize brand compact SUV number F 1326 YS was burned down, while the car belonging to Neng Eem brand Toyota Lexus with number B 1111 FIN was burned in the back," said witness Sasmita (73), a local resident.

Almost an hour of fire raging on the fire of a Toyota Raize, it was extinguished after a fire engine arrived at the location. "The fire was extinguished only after the fire truck arrived and there were already many police," he said.

Meanwhile, the candidate for the DPR RI for the West Java electoral district, Neng Eem, said that he did not know what the motive was behind the burning of his two vehicles in front of the foundation which was used by his winning post.

"I don't know what the motive is or just terror, because my team just went home to collect a C1 form using a Toyota Raize car, when it happened my team was inside the foundation building," he said.

He hopes that the case can be investigated thoroughly because information from the police has an element of intent by the unknown person. "I hope that it can be investigated thoroughly and the perpetrators will be arrested soon so that the motive is known," said Eem.
