Police alleged that the robbers had been keeping an eye on Davidson from a bank. “We were informed that there was a scout in the bank. It means that the scout was a part of the group,” Jakarta Metro Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Raden Prabowo Argo Yuwono.
Argo said that the victim was also allegedly scouted outside the bank. “So, the perpetrator observed who came alone to take a huge sum of money. There were more than one individual in the process,” he said.
Meanwhile, other offenders are tasked with monitoring and executing the plan.
West Jakarta Police chief Sr. Comr. Rockye Langie said that the police have identified the perpetrators. “We are on the move; I hope that the perpetrators can be captured in the near future,” he said.
