Police have arrested four more suspected terrorists in three different regencies in Lampung, an official on Friday.
National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said that two of the four suspects were arrested in Panjang, South Lampung, on Thursday evening. The next morning police apprehended another suspect in Karang Anyar, while the last suspect was taken in Pringsewu.
'The four are believed to be involved in the robbery of Bank Rakyat Indonesia [BRI] branch office in Pringsewu,' said Boy as quoted by tempo.co.
On April 22, six armed men broke into the BRI office in Pringsewu and took Rp 466 million (US$48,000) in cash.
Previously the National Police's counterterrorism unit Densus 88 arrested a man during an operation in Kebumen, Central Java, allegedly involved in the same robbery. Lampung Police are still hunting another suspect.
Densus 88 conducted a series of overnight operations throughout Java arresting 13 terror suspects and killing seven. (nai)
