JAKARTA - Police suspect that the motive behind the terror shooting that occurred at a private bank and convenience store (Toserba) in the Cengkareng area, was not an attempted robbery. Rather, it's just for fun.
"It is estimated that this is just an element of fun, but this is certainly not justified," said the Head of Public Relations of the Polda Metro Jaya Kombes E. Zulpan to reporters, Tuesday, August 23.
This allegation is based on the results of an interim investigation. He said that there was no indication of threat or loss from the bank.
"Indeed, the shooting did not mean a bank robbery, yes, it did not mean a bank robbery. There was no material loss, there was no threat there, there was no loss of money from the bank," he said.
Regardless of the motive behind the shooting, Zulpan said that in the investigation the identity of the perpetrators had begun to come to light. This is because the vehicle used by the suspect was detected.
"Investigations for clues already exist with the presence of a motorbike passing at high speed. However, the police number has not been seen, it can be confirmed," said Zulpan.
The shooting terror took place at a bank and shop in the Cengkareng area, West Jakarta, on Thursday, August 18.
Although there were no injuries or fatalities, the Police are still continuing their investigation to find out the motive for the terrorist act. A number of CCTV cameras have also been checked.
