A Gang Of Truck Drivers Who Went Viral On Social Media Managed To Be Arrested By The Police

JAKARTA - The Polsek Metro Penjaringan investigated a group of youths suspected of harassing truck drivers on Jalan Jembatan Dua Raya, Pejagalan, North Jakarta (Jakut). Head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Penjaringan Metro Police, Adjunct Commissioner of Police Harry Gasgari, said the scene of the truck driver's burglary was on Jalan Jembatan Dua Raya, Pejagalan, Thursday, November 17, at around 15.00 WIB.

"We arrested the group that abused the truck driver," said Harry, quoted from Antara, Friday, November 18.

He said the young man who was arrested was identified from a video circulating on social media. The three of them were taken to the Penjaringan Metro Police Headquarters for further questioning.

"We are still investigating, more fully (the perpetrator's profile and the amount of money taken) will be released later," said Harry.

The video has been spread on Instagram social media since Thursday, November 17, and has become a topic of discussion among internet citizens (citizens) for recording the driver's burglary which was quite reckless when the road situation was closely monitored.

Given this uncertainty, Harry suspects that the group has committed the burglary several times. He said the allegations would be further developed by investigators.

"While they often operate there (Jalan Jembatan Dua Raya) and we are still developing it. It is suspected that the perpetrators have indeed committed these burglary actions several times," said Harry.
