The gang of motorcycle robbers often acts sadistically using sharp weapons when they act against their victims during Lebaran 2023. The head of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Medan Police Commissioner Fathir Mustafa when releasing the case said that the four robbers who had to be shot in the leg had the initials DL, RD, PGR, and DK because they tried to escape when they were arrested. "The six robbers were arrested after committing a crime on Jalan Pukat V, Medan Tembung District, and their actions were caught on CCTV," he said. Fathir said, the perpetrators were arrested from several separate locations in the city of Medan and Deli Serdang Regency in the last few days. The results of the examination revealed that the gang of robbers had acted 25 times in the city of Medan. "The perpetrators acted with the target of an empty house left by their owners going for Lebaran 2023 homecoming as well as threatening the victim using sharp weapons, "he said. From the hands of the perpetrators, the police confiscated four motorbikes that became evidence of the proceeds of crime.
