West Jakarta Police have shot four suspected ATM thieves in Greater Jakarta on separate occasions.
The police’s general crimes head, Adj. Comr. Rulian Sauri, said the four perpetrators had collected Rp 700 million (US$49,000) from 36 different locations.
“The four perpetrators specialize in stealing from ATMs. They conduct their criminal activity in different areas and each have their specific roles. In this case, we shot their legs because they tried to fight us,” Rulian said on Tuesday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
He added that the police had arrested the perpetrators in different locations and on different days in Penjaringan, North Jakarta; Tambora, West Jakarta; and Caringin village in Tangerang, Banten.
The first perpetrator, identified as Mulyadi, 40, and Rusdi Bawono, 37, were arrested on Friday in a hotel in Penjaringan. Police then arrested Firmansyah, 29, in Tambora on Saturday, which was followed by the arrest of Irfan Maulana, 39, in Tangerang on Sunday. All of them were shot in the leg. (wnd)
