JAKARTA - The Central Jakarta Metro Police's Criminal Investigation Unit (Satreskrim) arrested two perpetrators of an attempted robbery against a cyclist who went viral at the Senayan Flyover, Tanah Abang District, Central Jakarta.

The two suspects were arrested at two different locations. The suspect, Nico Januarkardo alias Nico alias N (32) was arrested in Cinere, Depok. Meanwhile, the suspect Henriko Sitorus alias Bogel alias HS (32) was arrested in front of the Mulya Hotel, Jalan Kramat Pulo, Senen, Central Jakarta.

One of the perpetrators named Nico turned out to be a recidivist in a similar case. Based on his criminal record, Nico was once involved in a mugging case against the victim of a TNI officer.

The Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Pol. Endra Zulpan said the role of the suspect HS was as a picker (snatching a cellphone). Meanwhile, suspect N plays the role of a jockey who rides HS.

One of Dr. Tirta's posts on Instagram, which said these two people planned to snatch cyclists on the Senayan flyover

"Suspect N is a recidivist. He was once secured by the Central Jakarta Metro Police in 2021," said Kombes Endra Zulpan to reporters, Thursday, March 10.

Suspect N was sentenced to 1 year and 6 months in prison in connection with the robbery case on Jalan Medan Merdeka Barat, Gambir, Central Jakarta.

"N once snatched the victim, a mid-level officer with the rank of Colonel of the Navy, who was exercising on a bicycle," he said.

Meanwhile, Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief Kombes Pol. Hengki Haryadi confirmed that suspect N was a recidivist who had only been out of prison for a week and a half.

"Within a week and a half it turns out that the suspect has committed another crime," said Kombes Pol Hengki.

From police records, suspect N has committed street crimes at 3 crime scenes (TKP) in South Jakarta.

"And one that went viral in Central Jakarta. The suspect in particular N was charged with Article 363 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with Article 53 of the Criminal Code in conjunction with 486 of the Criminal Code. That is, because in less than 5 years he committed the same crime. To create a deterrent effect for this perpetrator," said the Police Chief.

The addition of articles against the suspect with the initials N was carried out by the Central Jakarta Metro Police because the crimes of suspect N continued.

"This is called a continuing act, we will investigate again how this perpetrator has a deterrent effect," he said.

Previously reported, Dr Tirta posted four photos showing two men on a motorbike, trying to steal a cyclist's cellphone at the Senayan Flyover near TVRI, Central Jakarta.

“Jambret is in action again at the Senayan flyover near TVRI! Monday 2 days ago they acted in the Dalkot area - Sudirman and Bekasi now in the TVRI area.

To take a photo with a photographer friend there, thank you to the photographer team who took the photo. Fortunately, I didn't have time to take the cellphone, because the photographer was alert and the assisting photographer and bicycle partner were also alert. Snatch mode: going around following plots, observing the frame, and putting the cellphone behind the jersey and focusing on targeting those who were separated / alone / only the three of us

Slide 1: the snatcher follows and then their target candidate Slide 2: tries to take the cellphone from the back of the jersey Slide 3: follows and zooms in on the photographer Slide 4: the face of the snatch

Those who are targeted are average girls, gentlemen and soloriding. Hopefully they will be caught! Permission to tag, gentlemen! To be aware." wrote dr Tirta through the Instagram account @dr.tirta, which was uploaded, Wednesday, March 2nd.
