A
motorcycle gang has been reported for causing trouble again in Depok, West Java. This time, they allegedly attacked a barbershop in Tanah Baru, Beji, on Sunday evening in an event recorded by a CCTV camera.
The footage shows six male members of the gang entering the Odysen Barbershop and wreaking havoc, including assaulting three employees, tempo.co reported on Monday.
One of the alleged victims is Rizal, 21, who was sitting in front of the barbershop along with two other employees.
"A team has been deployed to investigate the case and chase the perpetrators," Depok Police chief Sr. Comr. Didik Sugiarto told reporters.
Beji Police chief Comr. Yenny Sihombing said two of the victims had suffered injuries. "We allege that the violence was carried out by motorcycle gangsters," Yenny said.
The case follows a series of violence in Depok allegedly committed by motorcycle gangs. In December, the Depok Police arrested two members of motorcycle gang Jembatan Mampang (Mampang Bridge) who allegedly looted a clothing store in the city, which is located in southern Greater Jakarta. (fac)
