married couple, identified as Suneti and Andri Baswan, were apprehended in Tangerang, Banten, on Monday night over an alleged robbery in West Jakarta.
Police arrested Suneti and Andri at their house after information was provided by another suspected robber, identified as Eko, who police arrested on Sunday.
The couple are alleged to have collaborated with Eko and three other men, who remain at large, to rob Rp 60 million (US$4,615) from a man in Kalideres last Monday. The three are alleged to have followed the victim after he left a bank, threatened him at gunpoint and stolen his money.
“We haven’t interrogated them as yet. We continue to hunt for the three others,” Jakarta Police violent crime unit head Comr. Awaludin Amin told wartakotalive.com on Tuesday.
The couple’s role, according to the police report, was to wait inside the bank for a suitable target. Once a suitable target was ascertained, it is alleged that they then informed Eko and the three unidentified suspects waiting outside to follow and rob the target.
