The Tambora Police returned Apen's Yamaha Nmax motorbike (45), a resident of Tebet, South Jakarta, which was previously stolen by a syndicate of eagle-eye robbers (debt collectors) in the South Jakarta area.

Apen became a victim of a robbery when his motorbike was confiscated by the perpetrator who claimed to be the eye of the eagle, but did not take him to the leasing office. The perpetrators actually collected the stolen motorbike to be sent to the Bengkulu area using a truck covered in a box containing books to trick the officers.

The attempt to smuggle the stolen motorbike was successfully thwarted by members of the Tambora Police. After checking the suspected truck, the police managed to identify the original owner of the motorbike and immediately contacted Apen.

"I am very grateful and grateful because my motorbike was found and returned without a penny. This is really an extraordinary help for me," said Apen when giving a statement at the police station.

The Tambora Police Chief, Kompol Muhammad Kukuh Islami, through the Head of Criminal Investigation Unit, Iptu Sudrajat Djumantara, stated that the disclosure of this case was the result of the team's hard work in investigating the motor vehicle theft case.

"Apen's motorbike is one of the vehicles that was successfully secured before being sent out of town," said Iptu Sudrajat Djumantara in his statement on Friday, March 21.

The police also confirmed that the Yamaha Nmax motorbike had been handed over to its owner free of charge.

"We have handed it over to the owner free of charge," he added.

The Disclosure Of The Robbery Syndicate

Previously, the Tambora Police managed to thwart the smuggling of 13 stolen motorbikes to be sent to the Bengkulu area. Dozens of motorbikes were secured after the police suspected the cargo of a white truck numbered BD 8573 P passing through the Tambora area.

After the inspection, officers found 13 motorbikes from various brands covered by cardboard containing books. The truck driver with the initials AMR (45) was successfully secured and named a suspect. AMR was charged with Article 480 of the Criminal Code related to the detention of stolen goods.

From AMR's confession, he admitted that he was only hired to send motorbikes that were not equipped with vehicle documents to a recipient in Bengkulu.

"Every motorbike that is successfully delivered, AMR gets a wage of Rp. 500,000 per unit after the motorbike arrives in Bengkulu," explained Kompol Kukuh Islami when confirmed, Sunday, March 9.

The disclosure of this case is expected to reveal a wider network of motor vehicle thefts and provide a deterrent effect for similar criminals.
