The police have arrested a group of suspected minimarket robbers that usually operated in East Jakarta before dawn.
“We arrested the robbers in Bogor, West Java,” a Jakarta Police spokesman said on Monday, as reported by tempo.co.
East Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Yoyon Tony Surya Putra said the police had arrested seven people suspected to be the robbers.
Yoyon said that three minimarket robberies had occurred in May in several areas of East Jakarta. The suspects allegedly used firearms during the robberies, which were committed before dawn to avoid arrest.
On May 8, the group allegedly robbed a minimarket on Jl. Raya Bogor, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, and stole Rp 54 million (US$3,807).
The group reportedly later broke into a minimarket on Jl. Raya Pondok Gede, Cipayung, East Jakarta, on May 16, and took Rp 10 million in cash.
Their latest alleged target was a minimarket on Jl. Utan Kayu Raya, Matraman, East Jakarta, on May 18. They reportedly stole Rp 200 million in cash from the minimarket. (ami/wit)
