“The airplane had already been at the airport since early in the morning,” airport duty manager Sugeng Budiyanto said as quoted by tempointraktif.com news portal.

Two of the suspects were captured in a battery warehouse in Bakipandeyan, Baki district in Sukoharjo, according to head of Bakipandeyan village Parjiyo.

“I was informed by the officers about the arrest earlier today,” Parjiyo said, but could not give details on the identities of the arrested suspects.
