The two cadets had the initials IK (21) from Makassar, South Sulawesi and AA (19), a resident of Medan, North Sumatra. They confiscated two cellphones at a shop in the Peunayong area, Kuta Alam District, Banda Aceh, with the mode as if they were going to buy a cellphone.
While carrying out the action, the two students had sprayed liquid suspected of being chili water to Irmanita (38) who was guarding the cellphone shop. Then, they immediately fled using a motorbike while carrying the two devices.
The actions of the two perpetrators were caught on CCTV cameras, making it easier for the police to track down the whereabouts of the perpetrators before 1 x 24 hours.
"The perpetrators were arrested last night by the Rimueng Team led by Ipda M Effendy after the investigation, in the process we have also coordinated with the shipping school," he said.
This violent theft case began when the two of them came to the shop to ask one type of cellphone. Then the victim showed the cellphone in question while explaining the specifications to the perpetrator.
Because what was shown at that time was a replica cellphone, the perpetrator then asked the other type of cellphone displayed at the shop. Without suspicion, the victim showed the cellphone in question to the perpetrator.
"Suddenly, the perpetrator sprayed liquid suspected of having chili water on the victim, the perpetrator took the two cell phones and fled using a motorbike. The victim lost around Rp. 50 million, so he reported it to the Banda Aceh Police," he said.
When caught, said Fadillah, the two cadets did not admit to carrying out the action. With various tactics carried out by interrogation, they finally admitted with what had been done after carrying out a day's cruise off campus.
"We have confiscated two cell phones and one motorbike as evidence. Now they are languishing in prison for further legal proceedings," said Kompol Fadillah.
