INDRAMAYU - The police arrested two suspects who set fire to four tractors in Indramayu. This was motivated by heartache, because his colleague's efforts were more advanced.

"There are two suspects, one we arrested outside the area, and one in Indramayu," said Indramayu Police Chief AKBP M Lukman Syarif in Indramayu, Thursday, May 2.

Lukman said the two suspects who were arrested were respectively KM (39) and DS (29), both of whom are residents of Indramayu Regency.

According to him, the suspect KM was the main perpetrator of the burning of four tractors, because he was the one who planned and threw the jerry cans filled with diesel fuel at the tractors.

The suspect's action was because the person concerned felt hurt, because the business managed by his colleague was progressing, while his business went bankrupt.

"We arrested the suspect KM in Batam for running away," he said.

Meanwhile, another suspect, DS (29) was arrested at his home, KM in question was invited to take him to the scene of the arson incident.

The burning of four tractors, said Lukman, had gone viral on Indramayu's social media, and now the motive and the culprit have been identified because of heartache.

As a result of their actions, the two suspects were subject to Article 187 of the Criminal Code paragraph 1 with the threat of a maximum imprisonment of 12 years.

"The suspect is also a recidivist, and now we are securing him at the Indramayu Police Headquarters," he said.
