SUKABUMI - Police arrested one of the three robbers who carried out his action at a minimarket in Bojonggeteng District, Sukabumi Regency, West Java.

"From the results of the crime scene (TKP) and the development of this robbery case, we managed to arrest one of three perpetrators, namely SR (34), a resident of Lebaknangka Village, Bojo Kasih Village, Parakansalak District, Sukabumi Regency," said Sukabumi Police Chief AKBP, Maruly Pardede, as reported by ANTARA, Monday, October 16.

According to the information gathered, the robbery of a minimarket located in Kampung/Village/Bojonggenteng District took place on Friday, (6/10) at around 22.00 WIB.

At that time, suspect SR and two of his colleagues, namely LR (29) and RBP (34) entered the minimarket by pretending to be buyers.

However, the suspect SR immediately approached the cashier's desk while pointing a sharp weapon, a modified knife.

In a quiet neighborhood, the robbers then threatened and abused two minimarket employees, namely Ridwan Hudin (26) and Malik Robiulsani (25).

In addition to being mistreated, the two victims were tied up by their hands and feet and then held in the back room of the franchise. After immobilizing the victim, the three suspects freely drained the money in the knife worth approximately Rp. 30 million and tens of packs of cigarettes from various brands.

After taking action, they then fled through the entrance and exit of the minimarket. This robbery case was only discovered after there were residents who wanted to shop who were suspicious because the condition of the shelf was messy and there were no employees. After searching, it turned out that the victim was being held in the back room.

Personnel from the Sukabumi Police Satreskrim and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bojonggenteng Police who received reports of cases of violent theft went straight to the scene to conduct a crime scene investigation and ask for information from witnesses and victims.

"For SR, we managed to arrest less than 24 hours after the incident. We arrested the suspect at his house and managed to confiscate a number of evidence from the robbery and equipment that was used to rob," he added.

Maruly said that until now joint personnel from the Sukabumi Police Satreskrim and the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Bojonggenteng Police are still hunting for two other suspects, namely LR and RBP. To eliminate evidence, these suspects had damaged the CCTV DVR installed in the minimarket.

Meanwhile, the evidence confiscated from SR included dozens of packs of cigarettes from various brands, a knife used to threaten victims, cell phones and others. The suspect was charged with Article 365 of the Criminal Code concerning violent theft which carries a maximum imprisonment of 12 years in prison.
