"We have found two public reports related to theft using sharp weapons in the area," said Head of the Crime and Violence Unit (Kanit Jatanras) of the North Jakarta Metro Police Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim), AKP Lukman, as reported by ANTARA, Saturday, January 4.

MAS is a recidivist in a case of violent theft in Kelapa Gading, North Jakarta (Jakut). MAS is in carrying out its actions in groups and there are six people who mostly use sharp weapons.

"In this case, the perpetrator is charged with Article 365 of the Criminal Code. The threat is 9 years in prison," he said.
