The six suspects were identified as DS, IS, AJ, YI, DRA and CK. They were arrested while planning another crime. Rikwanto said the police asked IS, the leader of the group, to identify the houses of four other fugitives in Bekasi, but he tried to escape in the middle of the trip. The police shot him in the leg and back. IS died on the way to the hospital.
Rikwanto said the police confiscated various weapons, cash, mobile phones and a Honda CRV car.
