PROBOLINGGO - Combined officers from the Pasuruan and Malang City Police arrested a gang of robbers at the exit of the Leces Toll Road, Probolinggo. The police fired warning shots several times before arresting the three perpetrators.
"It's true, what happened last night. The three arrested perpetrators are still alive, none of them were killed in the arrest by the police," said Head of Public Relations of the East Java Regional Police, Kombes Gatot Repli Handoko, confirmed Wednesday, March 24.
Gatot said the arrests took place at 00.30 WIB, Wednesday, March 24 in the morning. In the video circulating, the police blockaded as if they surrounded a gang of perpetrators using a white Avanza car.
According to Gatot, the three actors who were already surrounded did not immediately get out of their car. So, the joint officers fired warning shots into the air, asking the perpetrators to get out of their car.
"So, as soon as they got out, the police immediately paralyzed the perpetrator by tying his hands and pressing them to the road," he said.
After being arrested, continued Gatot, the perpetrator was immediately taken to undergo an investigation. The three of them are a gang of motor vehicle thieves (curanmor) who stole the L300 type pickup.
However, Gatot could not elaborate on the curanmor case because the case handling was in Pasuruan Kota and Malang Kota.
Previously, a video of the arrest of a gang of robbers circulated on social media. The scene of catching the perpetrator of the theft was quite dramatic and tense. Police officers immediately blockaded all the Leces toll exit doors by parking their vehicles at the portal.
The three actors who drove the Avanza were immediately surrounded. The besieged perpetrator did not immediately get out of his car. Joint officers had several times fired warning shots into the air while asking the perpetrators to get out of their car.
