West Jakarta police have apprehended three individuals in connection with a Rp1.2 billion ($80,000 USD) glass-smashing theft that occurred in Kalideres.

The suspects, Sartono Andi (53), Murdini (35), and Marwan (51), were arrested in Cileungsi, Bogor, and Bengkulu, respectively. Police reported that the suspects resisted arrest, necessitating a forceful response to ensure public safety.

Investigators revealed that the group consists of repeat offenders with a history of similar crimes. Authorities are actively pursuing two additional suspects, identified only by the initials D and H, who are now on the wanted list.

The theft took place on June 9 around 11:30 AM when the victim, identified as FB, withdrew the money from a bank. While driving back to the office, the victim's car experienced a flat tire. While at a workshop to replace the tire, the vehicle's right side window was broken, and the bag containing the cash was stolen.
