"Yes, we have arrested one person who vandalized the Jambi Governor's office, a total of six people," said Head of Sub-Directorate III Jatanras Ditreskrimum Jambi Police Commissioner Muhamad Aulia Nasution as reported by ANTARA, Friday, February 23.

The perpetrator who was arrested had the initials SK, a resident of Sungai Bertam Village, Muaro Jambi. The decree works as a driver who was involved in a demonstration in the courtyard of the Jambi Governor's Office on Monday (22/1).

"The perpetrator was arrested while in the vicinity of his house," he said.

The police have conducted a profiling regarding the perpetrators who threw stones at the Jambi Governor's office. The police have also appealed to the perpetrators to surrender, but they are ignored.

Apart from SK, there are five other suspects who are still in the pursuit process. The other five perpetrators have been on the Jambi Regional Police's wanted list (DPO). One of them is even now fleeing to the island of Java.

As a result of his actions, the perpetrator was subject to Article 170 of the Criminal Code concerning the destruction of goods with a penalty of more than six years.

In addition to the six suspected perpetrators of the throwing, the police are also investigating the provocateur's role in the throwing incident.
