SURABAYA - A number of assets at Wisma Persebaya on Jalan Karang Gayam, Tambaksari, Surabaya, East Java, disappeared. The police suspect that the missing assets were due to looting.
"We have checked, indeed there is air conditioning, the trellis and aluminum window frames are missing," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of Tambaksari Police, Iptu Didik Ariawan, confirmed.
However, Didik admitted that he did not know for sure the details of the lost assets looted by people. They are currently still collecting data.
Didik suspects that the perpetrators of the looting are deliberately taking advantage of the deserted situation of the guesthouse which has been empty for a long time. So that an unknown person stole a number of items in the building.
"It seems that someone is trying to take advantage of the status quo (freezing due to dispute), so that they enter the guesthouse, which no one really cares for," he said.
Wisma Persebaya has been vacant for a long time, since the dispute between Persebaya Surabaya and the Surabaya City Government in the District Court and continues to the appeal process at the High Court, circa 2019-2020.
The Satpol PP and the City of Surabaya Linmas themselves have sealed Wisma Persebaya since May 2019. During the dispute, this guesthouse then became uninhabited.
Until now, the front area of the guesthouse looks unkempt. The grass in the yard is towering. Far from being taken care of.
On the inside, on the ground floor, broken glass, wood and archival paper were scattered on the ground floor. Cobwebs scattered on the walls and ceiling of the room.
However, a number of glass cabinets and their contents in the form of dozens of Persebaya Surabaya victory trophies are still intact. It's just that it's covered in dust.
It was also seen that the jersey number 19 belonging to the late Persebaya player, Eri Irianto, was still displayed on one side of the cupboard. There are also photos of the squad and the official Bajul ijo plastered in the corner of a room.
Wisma Persebaya is a historical place. This place is like a candradimuka crater for Persebaya young players.
In this guesthouse, legendary players such as Bejo Sugiantoro, Uston Nawawi, Mat Halil, Rendi Irawan, Anang Makruf, Yusuf Ekodono to the late Eri Irianto appeared and were nurtured.
