MEDAN - Police uncovered a gold shop robbery at Simpang Limun Market, Medan City. In total, 5 robbers were arrested, one of whom was shot dead for resisting.
North Sumatra Police Chief Inspector General RZ Panca Putra Simanjuntak said the five perpetrators of the Medan gold shop robbery were Hendri Tampubolon (38) Paul (32) Farel (21) and Prayogi alias Bejo (26) and Dian.
The perpetrator Hendri, said Panca, was the mastermind of the robbery and received strict action until he died.
"Perpetrator Hendrik Tampubolon is the mastermind of a criminal act. We have received several criminal acts between the provinces and the DPO list and we still receive it from the Riau Police," said Inspector General Panca, Wednesday, September 15.
Panca explained that the robbery of the Medan Simpang Limun market gold shop was carried out very carefully. The idea for this robbery, said Panca, was initiated by the perpetrator Hendri who asked Dian to find him.
"Then three people were brought together, namely Paul, Farel and Prayogi alias Bejo. The suspect Hendri also determined the location of Simpang Limun Market as the location," said Panca in Medan, Wednesday, September 15.
After that, on August 25, the suspects Paul, Farel and Bejo made observations at the Simpang Limun Market. At that time, they determine which store will be the target of the robbery.
"This activity is well-planned and well-thought-out, because before doing it they observe. When robbing, all the perpetrators coat their hands with hansaplast so that their fingerprints are not traced," he explained.
Panca caught the vehicle used by the perpetrator during the robbery, which was stolen by the suspect Hendri in Riau. From the hands of the suspects, the police seized a Winchester firearm, an assembled FN pistol and a homemade revolver.
"The gold evidence that was robbed by the perpetrators weighed 6.8 kilograms or Rp. 6.5 billion," he said.
The perpetrators of the robbery of the Simpang Limun Medan gold shop were charged with Article 365 paragraphs 2 to 4e and 2e of the Criminal Code.
