A video is circulating showing a motorcycle theft gang brandishing a firearm at a clothing store on STPI Road, Curug District, Tangerang Regency.

Based on CCTV footage, the gang, consisting of four individuals on two motorcycles, was attempting to steal a black Honda Beat motorcycle with license plate B 6915 JCM.

One perpetrator acted as the executor, while the other three were tasked with securing the area.

However, as they were about to carry out the theft, they were spotted by a driver who was unloading goods from behind a delivery van.

The driver immediately shouted at the gang. But as he attempted to chase them, one of the perpetrators, the executor, pointed what is suspected to be a homemade firearm at the driver.

“After I shouted at them, they fled, but one perpetrator pointed a gun at me,” said the driver.

The driver admitted he abandoned his intention to chase the perpetrators after the gun was pointed at him. He stated that other residents also did not dare to pursue the theft gang.

“After he pulled out the pistol, I didn’t dare to chase them anymore; it’s better to avoid danger. The important thing is I managed to save the motorcycle,” he said.

He mentioned that the motorcycle targeted for theft belonged to a student who was interning at that clothing store.

The driver stated that the police had already checked the crime scene following the incident. “That motorcycle belongs to a street vendor’s child. We hadn’t had time to report it yet, but the police already came here to check,” he said.

Furthermore, the Curug Police Chief stated that his unit is currently conducting a deeper investigation into the case. “We are currently still investigating it in depth,” he said briefly.
