BANJARBARU - Police shot a gang of sadistic gangsters in Banjarbaru City, South Kalimantan (Kalsel), who did not hesitate to injure their victims and even attempted to rape them in action.

"The two perpetrators were given firm and measured action with shots in the legs for trying to fight back and fled when they were arrested," explained Head of Sub-Directorate 3 of Jatanras Directorate of General Crime Investigation of the South Kalimantan Police AKBP Andy Rahmansyah in Banjarmasin, quoted by Antara, Thursday, September 30.

The suspects with the initials SR (40) and PR (31) were arrested on Jalan Governor Soebarjo, Liang Anggang, Banjarbaru City, on Thursday morning.

Both of them are wanted by the police after they robbed two of their victims on the North Ring Road, Landasan Ulin District, Banjarbaru City, on Friday, September 24 evening.

A young couple of 16 years old when passing at the scene were grabbed by the perpetrator who was wearing a motorbike. The perpetrator immediately threatened the victim to hand over their cellphones while brandishing a sharp machete.

The victim, who did not want to hand over his cellphone, was immediately slashed by the perpetrators, causing injuries to his hands.

Even the female victim had wanted to be raped but the victim rebelled until the attempted rape failed and the perpetrator fled by stealing the stolen cellphone.

Based on the victim's report, the South Kalimantan Tiger Resmob Unit team led by AKP Endris Ary Dinindra were deployed to back up the Banjarbaru Police Jatanras Unit and the West Banjarbaru Police Buser Unit to hunt down the perpetrators.

"The PR suspect who became the brains of the plot is a recidivist in a robbery case who just got out of the Penitentiary about six months ago.

The custodian, AS (39), who bought the cellphone stolen by the perpetrator, was also secured in Bati-Bati District, Tanah Laut," said Andy.
