JAKARTA - It is estimated that hundreds of residents of Jalan Rorotan 2, Cilincing, North Jakarta packed the courtyard of the At Taqwa mosque, North Jakarta. Residents flocked to the mosque to express their frustration over the arrest of two motorcycle thieves, Wednesday night, July 27.
"It's true that the two perpetrators, J and SA, were arrested by the residents and the Opsnal team who were currently observing the area," said Head of Criminal Investigation Unit of the Cilincing Police, AKP Alex Chandra when confirmed by VOI, Thursday, July 28.
The incident started when the victim, named Tutut Kinasih, parked his motorbike in front of the Jalan Rorotan II kiosk. Tutut anticipates his vehicle being lost by locking the disc brakes with a padlock. But Tutut forgot to pull out the ignition so he just left it hanging on the motorbike.
"The perpetrator who was passing at the scene saw the ignition key left on the motorbike and actor J immediately took the motorbike while the SA perpetrator was in charge of monitoring the situation," explained Alex.
When the perpetrator took Tutut's motorbike, he fell because he did not know there was a lock on the disc brake. Suddenly the perpetrator left the motorbike he was going to steal.
"When he was about to be taken away. Apparently there was a lock on the disc of the victim's motorbike, then it fell. He ran and was chased by residents and the Opsnal team at the location," he added.
The two perpetrators were caught by the locals and beaten mercilessly. The actions of residents judging the perpetrators were also seen through videos that went viral on social media. In the video, the two perpetrators are stripped of their clothes. Residents repeatedly beat the perpetrators in the courtyard of the At Taqwa mosque.
Police officers who arrived at the scene immediately secured the perpetrator from the mob. Now the two perpetrators have been detained and subject to the 4th Article 363 paragraph (1) with a maximum threat of 7 years in prison
