​Armed motorcycle robbers shoot a man in Kalideres

We’ve had an increasing number of motorcycle robberies in the Greater Jakarta Area in the past few weeks. Even more worryingly, this motorcycle robbery spree is becoming more and more violent each time.

The latest robbery happened in Kalideres, West Jakarta, today. Four armed robbers shot a motorcyclist as they stole his motorcycle with force.

“The victim was shot, the bullet bounced off a light post and scraped the victim’s torso,” said AKP Andika, head of the Crime Investigation Unit at the Kalideres Police, as quoted by Warta Kota today. 

Fortunately, the victim survived the violent attack.

“The victim survived as his wound isn’t too bad. It was just a bullet scrape,” Andika said.
