JAKARTA - The joint team consisting of the TNI-Police and Basarnas are still looking for a crew of the NBO 105-type helicopter belonging to the National Police with registration number P-1103 which crashed in the waters of Bangka Belitung. One of the victims was AKP Arif Rahman.

National Police Chief, General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, said that as many as 600 personnel were deployed in the search for victims of the NBO 105 helicopter belonging to the National Police with registration number P-1103.

"A joint search effort was carried out by the Indonesian National Police and the TNI, then there was Basarnas, then there was the local government, Gegana, and also the community of approximately 600 people, divided into 7 areas and three points", said Listyo at the Pondok Cabe Air Police Airport, South Tangerang, Wednesday, November 30.

List admitted that his party experienced weather problems in the search for victims of the NBO 105 helicopter belonging to the National Police. This resulted in one of the Police crew not being found until now.

"The weather conditions at the location of the weather search are still very bad, so it is rather difficult to search quickly", he concluded.

Previously, the bodies of the three crew members of the NBO-105 P-1103 Police Helicopter who had an accident in East Belitung waters were found.

The three bodies are in the name of Aipda Joko Mudo, Brida Khairul Anam, and Brigadier M. Lasminto.
