BANDUNG - The Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) of the Bandung Police, West Java, arrested three armed robbers who took action at a shop in Bojongsoang District.

Bandung Police Chief Kombes Hendra Kurniawan said the three robbery suspects had the initials ZZ, SG, and NK. In addition, there is one other suspect who is still being chased by the police.

"So when the perpetrator entered, he immediately asked the victim for money while pointing an air softgun," said Hendra at the Bandung Police Headquarters, quoted by Antara, Monday, August 30.

According to Hendra, the perpetrator with the initials ZZ acted as a firearm holder asking the victim for money. Meanwhile, the other three actors are in charge of monitoring the location.

When entering the shop, according to Hendra, the perpetrators who pointed a gun made the shop manager scared. As a result, the victim gave money amounting to Rp800 thousand and a number of other items.

"After the perpetrators managed to get Rp800 thousand in cash, brought a pack of cigarettes, and a box of candy, the perpetrators immediately left using a jeep-type vehicle," said Hendra.

The action was caught on video from a surveillance camera at the store. Then the video footage of the robbery was widely circulated on social media.

In the video, the perpetrators can be seen using a green jeep. Then the police immediately carried out an investigation with a number of these clues.

As a result of their actions, the perpetrators who were detained were suspected of Article 365 of the Criminal Code and the Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 12 of 1991 concerning Possession of Bullets and Firearms and were threatened with a maximum sentence of 12 years.
