SOUTH TANGERANG Residents managed to paralyze one of the two perpetrators of motorcycle theft (curanmor) on Jalan Gadung Dua, Pondok Ranji, East Ciputat, South Tangerang, on Sunday morning, November 24.

The owner of the motorbike, Nurul Islam, told that the incident occurred when he had just returned from work. He caught the perpetrator pushing his motorbike parked near the house.

I just got home from work and wanted to park the car. From the mirror, I saw my motorbike being pushed by someone. I immediately got off, chased the perpetrator, and kicked him down, "said Nurul at the scene.

Nurul explained that the perpetrator had fought back and even took out a sharp weapon. However, he acted quickly by kicking the weapon from the hands of the perpetrator.

"I don't think much, the important thing is that my motorbike returns. I struggled with the perpetrator until I managed to mitigate him. The perpetrator's friend immediately fled. Not long after, residents arrived and helped secure the perpetrators," he explained.

The perpetrator who was caught was immediately secured by residents, while his colleague managed to escape. When searched, a number of suspicious items were found in the perpetrator's pocket.

From the search, evidence was found in the form of a letter T key, sharp weapons, and several statues that were suspected of making the perpetrators immune. All of these items have been handed over to the police," said Nurul.

Until this news was published, the case was still being handled by the authorities. The police are also hunting down fellow perpetrators who fled the scene.
