An armed robbery gang that struck in Tulang Bawang Barat, Lampung, has been arrested by the Mobile Brigade Unit (Satresmob) of the National Police's Criminal Investigation Agency (Bareskrim Polri). The five individuals detained are AY, T, J, Y, and D.
"The Bareskrim Mobile Brigade Unit, together with the Lampung Regional Police Mobile Brigade and Tulang Bawang Barat District Police, were able to crack this case swiftly and comprehensively," said Unit III Head of the Bareskrim Mobile Brigade, Senior Commissioner Reinhard H Nainggolan, in a statement on Saturday (21 February 2026).
**1. Chronology of Events**
The robbery occurred on Monday, 19 January at approximately 09:00 Western Indonesian Time. Two victims — a truck driver and a staff member from a food distribution shop — were on their way to deposit Rp 800 million at a bank using a truck.
On the road to the bank, a motorcycle carrying suspects T and J suddenly cut off the victims' truck. They immediately fired a weapon at the windscreen, shattering it.
"At approximately 09:00 WIB, three gunshots were heard on Jalan Sudirman, Tiyuh Daya Asri," said Reinhard.
The gunfire brought the truck to a halt and caused panic among nearby residents. At that moment, the two suspects seized the hundreds of millions in cash and immediately fled the scene.
"The two perpetrators then seized the Rp 800 million that was to be deposited at Bank Mandiri," he continued.
**2. Police Recover Motorcycle as Evidence**
Based on available information, a joint team immediately proceeded to the location to conduct an investigation. Within a day of the robbery, police obtained leads and recovered a Yamaha Vixion motorcycle used by the suspects to carry out their crime.
"The motorcycle was discarded beneath the Lampung-Palembang Toll Road. The team also found other evidence including CCTV footage and other items that shed light on this violent robbery," explained Reinhard.
**3. Robbery Suspects Arrested**
Based on witness statements and evidence gathered, police successfully apprehended the five-member robbery gang that targeted the truck in Tulang Bawang Barat Regency, Lampung. All five suspects have been placed in detention for further proceedings.
Police first arrested three suspects after they had been on the run for one month. The three — Ahmad Yani, Danil Al Fatah, and Tedy Hariyadi — were captured at their hideout in North Sumatra Province on Wednesday, 18 February 2026.
Lampung Regional Police Public Relations Head, Commissioner Yuni Iswandari, confirmed the arrests. She explained that the operation was carried out by a joint team from Tulang Bawang Barat District Police, Lampung Regional Police, and North Sumatra Regional Police.
"That is correct — three individuals have been successfully arrested in connection with the robbery that occurred in Tulang Bawang Barat, in which the victims suffered losses of Rp 800 million," she said on Friday (20 February 2026).
"The arrests were made in North Sumatra by the joint team, specifically in Batu Bara Regency. Three individuals were successfully apprehended and have now been brought to the Tulang Bawang Barat District Police station," Yuni added.
During the robbery, the perpetrators fired shots at the truck's windscreen before absconding with Rp 800 million. Circulating video footage showed the right-side door glass of the truck, bearing registration plate BE-8247-QM, shattered by the robbers' gunfire.
