From the video footage circulating, it appears that four perpetrators came using two motorbikes. They wore closed clothes and helmets, making it difficult to identify. The two perpetrators acted as executors, while the other two stood guard on the motorbike, were ready to run away if the situation was unsafe.
After observing around, the two perpetrators approached a metallic green motorbike parked. In a short time, they managed to break into the lock and start the motorcycle engine.
However, when they were about to run away, their action was known by the owner of the motorbike who immediately shouted for help. Realizing his whereabouts were revealed, the perpetrators panicked and tried to escape quickly.
One of the perpetrators opened fire from the motorbike to block the victim's chase. Luckily, neither the residents nor the victims were injured as a result of the gunfire.
Currently, the police are still hunting down the perpetrators and exploring the possibility of being linked to a similar gang that often acts in the West Jakarta area.
