DENPASAR - The Bali Regional Police stated that the vest that was written by the police, which was worn by nine suspected perpetrators of the robbery of Ukrainian foreigners in Bali, did not belong to the police and had nothing to do with the Police.
"Police Vests can be found anywhere. What is clear is that the Bali Police and the National Police in general do not have such vests," said Head of Public Relations of the Bali Police, Kombes Ariasandy, Friday, January 31.
When nine suspected perpetrators from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan kidnapped and robbed crypto assets worth IDR 3.4 billion, they wore all-black clothes and vests that read 'Police'.
Apart from vests, the police are also still investigating allegations of using firearms and sharp weapons, including the car used by the perpetrators in carrying out hostage and robbery on December 15, 2024.
Sandy revealed that the information regarding the perpetrators involved in the case as far as possible was still based on the clues in the Police Report reported by the victim.
"All the information we get, both verbally reported and in the form of videos, remains the source of information we are exploring. The point is we will find the eight people, hopefully we will secure them soon," he said.
Investigators are still investigating the motive for the robbery. However, a number of crypto assets taken by the perpetrators could be clues to uncover the motive for the incident.
"If we haven't revealed the motive problem, if the suspect has not been caught. If we haven't been caught, we don't know the motive yet. But what is clear is that the property is taken," said Sandy.
